A Father's Day Jaunt

Father's Day was a good one this year!  I made Eric a very hearty breakfast burrito with eggs whites, cottage cheese, black beans, tomato, sweet onion and salsa with multi grain wraps.  They were pretty good! 

In the afternoon, we went up American Fork Canyon.  We thought the drive through the canyon would be nice and that Mabel would enjoy walking around Cascade Springs. Well, it was a nice drive but Mabel slept through the entire walk.

 
 

Once she's out, she's out for 2 hours come
hell or high water.
The pictures really don't do it justice but it was beautiful and we enjoyed our little walk.  Mostly, it got me itching to do some real hiking.  It's hard to get out when you have a toddler!

Once we got home, we made a spaghetti with sauce made from fresh tomatoes, fresh mushrooms, fresh basil, fresh onion and olive oil.  It was fantastic and good for us!   We have really enjoyed spending time in the kitchen together lately.  I guess cooking yummy healthy meals can be our one thing we have in common.

After dinner, Eric went to work and Mabel and I went to see my daddy!  We just hung out on the patio and Adam made us dutch oven apple cobbler.  YUM.  That was the first sugar I've had since Thursday and it was worth it. Mabel has lots of fun playing with her cousins so I love when we get together. 

In short, I love dads, mountains, food, summer and  family so it was a wonderful day!

That sounds like so much fun! That's so great you guys are eating healthy, I need to get back on the band wagon with that!

Also, I'm super jealous that Mabel sleeps while you're out and about! She looks like she's 5 in that stroller! :)
