Impromptu stop at Strawberry Reservior

If you were to ask West about my punctuality, he would tell you that I'm NEVER on time. And in my defense, well... I'm NEVER on time. I like to cram more items into my time than my time allows for. On this occasion I was to meet my ex with the kids at 5:00 for swapping. My ex, for some unusual reason that I don't understand, is always early for these swapping meetings. It doesn't matter how early I manage to be to them (whether collecting or dropping off) he's always there before me. So on this particular day, when I showed up on the dot, and he wasn't there, it made me wonder. I picked up my phone to check my texts. Yup. There it was. Meet at 7. Not 5. So somewhere in my head meet at 7, leave at 5, turned into meet at 5, leave at 3. So... I was now 2 hours early in the middle of no where with no cell phone service. Stupendous. Well, I guess we can turn around and go back to Heber and play at the park there for an hour? Being as the other hour would be taken in the trip back to Heber and back again. On the way to Heber the girls decided they wanted to check out Strawberry Reservoir instead, so we did. We had A LOT of time to kill... and no swimsuits. So the kids jumped into the lake with their clothes on. Hey why not, they had bags of clothes packed for their stay with their dad, so they could change into something dry.

On the way back up to the car to change Cali says, "Mwahahahaha... I need to work on my evil laugh." I still don't know where that one came from, but you gotta love her.

That is so awesome! I'm glad you were early this time. What a fun memory. So, did you get in too? Spontaneous events are the most fun!

Hi Steph!
I need your help. I need family photos taken and I want your recommendation. I know you have had someone named Kacy do yours in the past and then I see on your blogroll someone named LaLa (when I was looking at her blog I saw that my doctor's family had their pictures taken by her! how funny!). Anyway, who do you recommend? I need a good place to do nice pictures of my boys and someone who is skilled in making people look good since I am fat and want to be positioned well. Thought I would get your input. Thanks!!
Jamie
