It has been unseasonably warm here in Utah County the last few days. Yesterday it reached 100°F and so to try and stay cool we took Hyrum up the canyon for his first visit to Mutual Dell. It's an area up American Fork Canyon owned by the Church where they have camping, a lodge, etc. It was nice to have a respite from the sweltering weather and Hyrum seems to really love being outside.



He's also starting to become a little more mobile, although I think he is still figuring out that he is in control of his arms and legs. Occasionally he'll be getting upset and wack himself in the nose (which makes him even more upset). He's starting to just flail his arms and kick his legs during tummy time which inches him across his little blanket (but usually only when he is really mad). We'll get some footage the next time he does it and post it.

Today was my first Father's Day and it was great. I didn't have any meetings so we could just enjoy spending all Sunday morning as a family.

    Happy Father's Day, Derek! That is one cute little guy you have there. I'm glad he had fun on his first trip to the canyon. You need to tell that boy to quite hitting himself in the face!
