Rockin' Utah

I mentioned this great program called "Rockin' Utah" on my teaching blog, and last week we went on our first outing. It was up at the Wasatch Mountain State Park in Midway. We met up with the group and went on a fun little hike up to a vernal pond (I learned that a "vernal" pond is one that is only there during the spring and dries up in the summer.) We saw a lot of little critters and I even caught a frog (for a minute). Here are a few pics from our adventure:

At the end of the hike we each got a cool aluminum water bottle and we got these awesome binoculars for the family (so not a cheap pair!)

It was fun to get the girls up in the mountains again. I'd never been to Wasatch Mountain State Park (at least not intentionally). I highly recommend checking out the other "Rockin Utah" activities. Fun for the whole family.
