Lake Cleavland

Happy Birthday Kendrick! We embarked on the traditional Lake Cleavland adventure this past weekend. It was was beautiful. The close-up shot of Hayden and Boston is of them trying to catch a squirrel. They were doing it with a fish hook, and they were all disappointed that the squirrel was too smart to swallow the whole thing. Turn's out the squirrel was smarter than them. But we missed you, Anna and Kendrick!

The Girls

Due to a sudden wind/rain storm, we had to move our Enrichment meeting to Rock Canyon park. But it turned out well. L-R: Hilary, Courtney, Me, Katie, Megan, Julie, and Erin is behind the camera.

A Jessica and Stuart Adventure

Stuart and I went on a hike up the canyon. As we were starting out, there was about six Search and Rescue trucks parked at the trail head. We headed up the trail and after about ten minutes, we ran into three rescue guys coming out of the canyon with a stretcher. On the stretcher was a man with no legs! My heart 'bout dropped when I first some him, cause I thought I was about to witness the results of some gruesome, decapitating accident. Then we realized it was half a dummy, and they were up there doing training. That was pretty funny.

Here are a few of the best shots from the hike.

Battle Creek Falls

On Friday night we set off on an adventure. Under a thick canopy of smoky clouds and a murky moon, Regan, Laurie, Katie, Adam and I headed up the trail. The falls are extremely heavy this time of year. The falls used to fall in one steady stream. But, due to excessive rain and snowfall this past year, the falls has broken into two and looks as though it is shuttling twice as much water down the canyon as usual. Gorgeous hike though. It was a fabulous adventure.

Congratulations!

Alina and Laurie graduated this weekend. They're growing up! Best wishes girls and don't even think this will be the end! I love you girls!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday dear Larsen! Happy Birthday to you! On August 5th, he turned 13!

Amber Waves of Grain

I don't have coastal property. I don't go home to waves breaking on the sand or have porch that overlooks an endless ocean.

I go home to amber waves of grain. An ocean of flowing, breathing vegetation. Its body entrances you with the same magic as a sea of water.

Park City Adventure

Stuart and Hayden came down recently to hang out with me. We took a roadtrip to Park City, adventuring through Heber Valley on the way up. We went to a lot of galleries, checked out some of the Olympic venues, and did a little shopping at Van Huesen...Stuart got a couple of sassy shirts that bring out his eyes :) This is a picture of them with this bear we found sitting on a bench.

The Petersons

My Megs got married! They tied the knot on Thursday, July 28th. She looked absolutely beautiful and the whole day was perfect. Congratulations Meg and Mitch!
