summer hikes

 We wanted to go on more hikes with the kids this summer...I think we've hiked 4 weeks in a row now, plus the kids had about 2 more hikes in there.  Not bad.  

 We've found that if we hike to something cool, like a waterfall or cave, we have more success.  And we keep it short.  Like about 45 minutes to an hour of actual hiking time, both ways.  

 They love climbing the rocks.

 So does their Dad.  "We want to come up there too!"

Maybe I should start closing my eyes!

B-ball camp

These boys had fun and came home all tired out.  Perfect!  You gotta love Ryan's powerade mustache.

Grandma and Grandpa Toolson visit

My parents came for a visit in July and this is sadly the only picture I took.  It was on the way to the Isotopes game.  We really did lots of fun stuff, zoo, train to Sante Fe, swimming, movies...but you'll just have to take my word for it.

Come back soon Grandma and Grandpa!  Why do we live so far away???
