Visiting Clark Planetarium. Here we are hanging out on Mars. We made an afternoon of our Gateway visit by checking out stores, having a treat, but the planetarium was the main event. I had a city deals certificate (good thing I used it then) for the IMAX theater, too.
Hayden's last day of his Arts and Crafts class. The kids painted "masks" and Hayden also painted a wooden dog.
He decided to make the mask look angry.
Say cheeeeeese!!!
These next two pics were taken on my phone so the quality isn't quite as good. Here's Hayden on the frog at the aquarium.
Later that same day we ventured over to the gardens at Thanksgiving Point. It was the end of the car show so we got to catch a few glimpses of some pretty awesome race cars and vintage ones, too.
I got in a nice hike up Bell Canyon to the waterfalls. I went with my friend, John, who really wanted to get in a good workout. We maintained a pretty steady pace on the hike up (a couple of miles), but it was a pretty good incline. We were both drenched with sweat which I guess is the idea when you're working out. We did stop for a moment before getting to the falls (that's this picture). I didn't realize that I was going to be in it or else I wouldn't have had my mouth full of apple. The view is amazing though. After we made it up we knew we'd have to go slower going down. Still, I managed to fall pretty hard! I was trying to jump my way through a few spots and my foot caught on a fallen branch and I went down face first. Luckily, I threw my hands down before my face hit the ground, but I hit my side and scored some nice cuts and bruises. However, my legs and feet were fine...which, let's face it, is my biggest concern. I had to laugh because I honestly can be such a klutz. We finally did make it down the mountain (my right hand was nice and swollen by that point). It was still an amazing and fun hike!
