Turning 34

Nathan's birthday was August 3rd. The day before his birthday, he decided he wanted to take our raft back to Provo Canyon for another run down Provo River. First, we stopped at Walgreen's so I could run in to get some sunscreen. When I got back in the car, all of the kids were jumping out of their seats with excitement. They had seen a deer across the street in a parking lot. We drove over to get a better look. Sure enough, there were two deer fawns. They looked just like Bambi! Very cute. We left them to graze in the business owner's landscaping and headed to Provo. Once again, I left the camera behind to save it from getting wet. It would have come in handy, though. As we were drifting down the river, Samantha suddenly announced, "I think there's something in those bushes! Oh, wait, no there's not." Then Nathan looks closer and says, "Yes there is!" There was a MOOSE standing on the bank of the river getting a drink. She looked up and watched us slowly pass by. All we could do was smile and wave. She was only a couple of yards from us. It was sooooo cool. After the moose was out of sight, we remembered that we had our cell phones in our pockets! We were so stunned that we finally saw a moose (still not a bull moose - darn it!), we missed the photo opportunity! All in all, it was a fun day filled with water and wildlife. The next day was Nathan's birthday, and since it was Sunday, we celebrated quietly at home. He requested homemade chocolate cake. Happy Birthday Nay!
