A day in the life with a dog...

(You know those helicopter leaves that you threw around as a kid? Well, for the first time-ever for me, I actually saw them on a tree! That is what those little white things are.)

Today was a lot of fun for the Fairall's...well, after we finally all were up (mainly after Chris & I pulled our lazy butts out of bed...) We decided to spend the gorgeous day outdoors. After trying to decide on going to the zoo - or somewhere Minnie could go...we opted for taking Minnie. We packed lunch for all parties involved & headed out.
We first went up to the dog park in Salt Lake. There were a few other dogs and our Minnie really likes to be leader of the pack...(fits right in with us huh?) She kept getting bugged when a different dog would come sniffing around me. She is so protective, it gets rather annoying. We were there maybe a half hour or so and then headed off to the next destination.

Next destination...Toys R Us. Christianna has had a little gift card since her birthday so we decided that a day before it expires would be a good time to use it! She picked out these crayola window crayons. They are seriously AWESOME!! Luckily the girls are old enough to clean up after themselves and have experience in cleaning windows....so the mess isn't a really big deal. (I am contemplating getting some for my self actually.)


We then headed up to City Creek Canyon. By now it is almost a half hour past lunch time and the girls were "starving." After we found a lovely picnic table with a view, we settled down to eat. Let me tell you, it definitely was chilly and we were all glad we brought hats & mittens. Once the bellies were full, we headed up through the canyon. I took some nice shots of the scenery. Enjoy!


(We found a little hairy caterpillar. They really wanted to bring it with us.)
