recitals, a hike, and Via313

Lydia playing with Basil in the morning
In the morning Lydia played her version of The First Noel at her harp recital.

Somehow we do not have a picture of Mary or Ammon playing in their piano recital, but I think we might have a video that Abe can embed at some future date. They both did well and we were so impressed with Daniel Olson’s students. He is such a gifted teacher.

After all of the recitals we went on a hike in Big Springs with the Easton-Flakes. I told Ammon at the beginning of the hike to stay away from the creek. At the end when I was occupied with Basil and Abe was occupied with Clarissa he headed straight for the creek and was sliding the down the bank calling for help (which neither Abe nor I heard). Amy heard him, thankfully, and rescued him. I was so grateful–and enraged. I hate when he endangers himself because his executive function is apparently completely shut off. But I am so grateful Amy saved him and very thankful he is alive.

After hiking we went to Via 313, our new favorite Orem restaurant.
In the evening the kids did karaoke and then Ammon played before bed. I took a picture documenting him alive and well to comfort myself. (And also I love the look of his bed.)
