Today we decided to head off to Payson for some much needed cooler weather. We packed the kids in the car and off we went. There were a few times the kids asked "why can't we go to a closer park for a picnic?" But we reminded them that we could be in the mountains, and that seemed to calm them down a little.
Once there, we ran into Safeway and got some items for lunch and then off to the park we went. We found an amazing park in town. It had a huge pond, grassy area, picnic tables and also playground for the kids. When we first got there we actually felt it sprinkling on us...not from the sprinklers but the sky!!! Imagine that! We got to wear our jackets for a bit...the kids were so thrilled about that. Isn't that crazy, that kids react to wearing extra clothes with joy? Well, in the Valley of the Sun jackets just aren't used very often. After a while, the jackets came off...it ended up to be about 70 degrees...but hey....that was 12 or so degrees cooler than the Valley. YIPPEE!
OH*****and the colors were quite beautiful up in the hills.
Today was a good day!
