We saw a few cutthroat trout, which we were pretty excited to find. This is also the waterfall that is above spouting rock. We haven’t been to Hanging Lake when the water was flowing as much as it was today. It was pretty spectacular! 

We made it! L-R: Caden, Wyatt, Jesse, Elias, & Wyatt J.

I am getting ready for my game. 

Fun at Touch a Truck. This helicopter circled around the school several times before landing. We sat at the fence for about 20 minutes watching & waiting for it to land. As soon as it came in to land, it blew up the biggest pile of dirt & debris that we all turned & ran…
