Summer Vacation by Kyle

For summer vacation we did the three things necessary to be happy:
Fishing, Mountains and Family... See below!

Girls with their fish!



We climbed Mt. Timpanogos, 15 mile round trip, 5500 elevation change, tougher than many 14er's in my opinion!

BEAUTIFUL view!



The summit, 11,749 ft



Timpanogos Glacier, the fast way down!


Cousins: Sophie, Anyia, Dillon, Ryder

Gone fishin'

On Kyle's day off this week we packed up and headed off for a great day of fly fishing. We went to a beautiful creek Kyle's boss told us about. Kyle was in heaven, of course. I married a fisherman.


The girls and I had fun playing in the water and hiking around. I was so proud of Breckyn when she hunted down a snake with no fear. She is so my kid.

Kyra preferred to spend her time observing, while Breckyn and I wanted to explore and hunt snakes. However, I was happy she did a lot of the hiking without being carried this time. Here she is perched on her rock.


Ryder seemed 100% content just taking it all in from Kyle's back. He watched Kyle's every move very intently. I think he'll be ready to do some fly fishing by himself next time.

Happy 4th!

We celebrated with a nice hike this morning. Breckyn is a very serious hiker and of course beat us to the top and then down to the bottom. Kyra, well she prefers to be carried so Kyle carried her most of the way and also Ryder in the backpack. I had it easy carrying water and holding Breckyn's hand when "she wanted to help me."







Any excuse to make sugar cookies!



Now we're off for a barbecue and fireworks with fun friends! What a great day.
