It's Hot!

Good thing we live close to the Alta Canyon pool.

Skiing

We all had a great time skiing this past winter, spending most weekends at Alta.

The season got off to a great start with a mid-November opening day. Andrew ditched his edgie wedgie on the first run of the year and Benj quickly started to use poles. Charlet and I skied more than we had in years and it felt great.

By April, Andrew had mastered several blue runs and had made it down a black diamond trail or two. Benjamin finally agreed to make a few turns on his way down the hill. And both boys managed to keep from breaking anything during their frequent attempts at tree skiing.

We're sure anxious for snow. Too bad it's only June.

Backyard Path

Here are a few pictures of our backyard pathway and side yard project we began working on this spring. It took about four weekends of working Saturdays to complete. The plants are starting to come in strong and we have harvested a few strawberries.

Weekend at Bear Lake

Family took a short trip up to Bear Lake for the weekend to see mom and dad. Always nice to get away and slow things down for a bit. The boys had a good time and so did Samson. Andrew is working on getting feeling back into his hand a trying to move that arm, time and patience. Benjamin spent time flinging sand into the water at the beach. We had an awesome dutch oven dinner and smores for dessert. Good times.
