Bridal Veil Falls...1 week past Due Date

Louis decided that a long walk would be helpful in progressing the birth of our baby. We headed off to show Grandma Sweets the falls in Provo Canyon and to let the kids run off some energy. We spent a few hours letting the kids play in the water at the bottom of the falls while I sat in a sturdy camp chair and waited for the labor pains to begin. It had been a week of waiting..and waiting....and waiting. I was getting quite impatient and was sure that the walk should have gotten things under way.

It was getting pretty hot in the afternoon sun but luckily, Louis heard the ice cream truck pull up and he ran for some ice cream bars for everyone. He found some scooby doo bars that were so chalked full of food coloring that the kid's mouths were stained. Gabe came home with a huge sugar high......so much for running off energy at the falls.

Louis waded out into the water to play with the kids and thought this huge rock would make a fun picture. What a big change it will be to add a 4th kid to the pics.
