Drive to Elk Ridge

We are excited to see Scott a little bit more these days! One day we got some Subway and took the girls on a drive. West of Blanding there is a place called Elk Ridge. Scott works here all the time, and it is where he took me on our hike to the cliff ruins.  We went back to the area with the waterfalls.  Unfortunately, it was only a trickle from a recent rainstorm, but it was still pretty and fun anyways.  The girls had fun running around, and throwing rocks into the water.  Whitney managed to fall in head first and soaked her clothes and shoes.  We learned first hand, that babies actually do hold their breath when they fall into water. I was right next to her and just grabbed her right out. It was kinda funny, not as terrifying as one would think. She was completely fine with it, not scared at all. But we still had a lot of trip left, so she was naked for a while, then we found a few things in the car to dress her up in.  Those are the times I am glad I am not a neat freak in the car. there is always something we can use.  After the water, we drove around looking for animals. Deer were plentiful, but no elk or bear spotted.  We saw a lot of pretty things and places Scott often talks about.  We got out for a view of Arch Canyon, but acorns were much more interesting. I am still finding them in the laundry.   It was a fun trip and we are so thankful to live in such a beautiful area.
