Hatch of the Day: Black Diamond

Spent the day hanging out with the family today. Today was our first trip to the Black Diamond Bakery. We kept hearing great things about it and finally took the opportunity to check it out. Stacy's mom and sis are in town for a visit so we thought we would all enjoy something new. YUMMY! I had the meatloaf sandwich (if you have the means, I highly recommend it). We also checked out the little museum next door with the caboose. It was very relaxing and good.

Jaycee's eyes were bigger than her stomach!

Today was Christopher's first lacrosse game. It was the first game that we have ever witnessed and I have to say it is a total blast to watch. I am surprised that it doesn't have a larger following. Maybe it does and I am just sheltered. Anyway, Chris was showing some skill with the ball and the stick thing they use. During the first few minutes of the game (or is it called a match?) he had the ball and was running to the net. He got close...shot...and oh my heck he scored! Oops! First rule learned...you can not shoot a goal if you are in the little circle around the goal. Can you tell that I know nothing about the sport! Oh well! I loved watching him mixing it up with the other boys! He is such a good kid. After the game we talked about the game. I told him, "You know how mom and dad tell you to be nice to other people? Well, during lacrosse you don't need to be as nice. As long as you follow the rules and are a good sport you can put a hit on someone and knock the ball out." He said that he did not get physical because he thought it would be like being a bully. Cool kid. It will be interesting to see if he lets it loose next game.

We also spent some time at the Flaming Geyser State Park. It is right on the banks of the Green River. The website tells of all the wildlife that can be seen there; elk, bear, salmon and deer. The only wildlife we saw was this skunk! The kids were brave / stupid. I guess the fella taking the pics was not too smart either. Fortunately the skunk did not want to stick around. Here are some more pics of the day...
