Unity Pass

      Joe was very worried about making new friends at our new house,  but he was the one kids I was not too worried about.  Every time I had gone to look at the new house I had seen a lot of boys his age running around in the neighborhood,  and I knew it would not take long for him to get to know at least one of them.

I didn't even think about the fact that he is also in Cub Scouts where he would also have a chance to do things with these boys and get to know them.  

      The Saturday after we moved in, his cub pack went on a "hike" (walk)  to Unity Pass.  The entire Family was invited so it was a great way for us to get to meet a few people.   

One of the things Ryan and I loved right away about Eagle Mountain was not the sage brush, but all of the Jogging/biking paths there are around the community.  Unity Pass is the point on the path where it is at Eagle Mountains highest elevation.  It is also located between the Ranches and City Center. The two communities of Eagle Mountain.  

Valerie decided that she was not going to walk.  So Ryan carried her for most of the walk. She has not been sleeping well in the new house,  and has been a little bossy,  so this is how he carried her most of the way.   She was fine with it, just as long as she didn't have to walk.  (Being new to the community we thought when they said hike that we would be hiking.  If we had known we were just walking on the path we would have brought the stroller)

Here is Joe with some of his new pack at Unity Pass.  He made a couple of new friends that day,  Hyrum and Jackson.  He seems to like our new house,  even though he still thinks it is too far away from the old one.

 One other thing........Joe noticed that the water at our new house tastes a little different.  It does not taste bad,  just different.  He asked me why that is.  I explained that in Sandy the water came from the run off in the mountains,  and out here the water comes from wells.  The next time we went to Grandma Bolander's house he got a drink of water and after drinking it told his grandma how much he missed the fresh mountain water.  Kids are funny.
