We have been busy this summer!! I'm not even going to attempt putting these pictures in any certain order... But I will try to at least give captions :) Last weekend we took the kids up to Sundance and rode the ski lift. It was a really fun to do with the kids, they thought it was almost as good as a Disneyland ride...Even if mom was freaking out about them falling every time they moved... 
A few weeks ago we hiked to Timpanogos Cave. It's a mile and a half up and pretty steep. The kids did AWESOME!
Below: This is the "heart" and there is a whole story/legend behind it... pretty fun to listen to the tour guides tell the history of the mountain and cave.

On the way up... Shyler needed several breaks and encouragement
We also went camping with Cole's family to celebrate his Grandma and Grandpa's birthdays...
The cousins having a snack
Fishing at Payson lake
I think Cole must have spotted a girl in a bikini floating on the lake...
Grandma Miriam really wanted some stumps to take home and put on her porch, so Cole and Jeff helped her out.
Grandpa Orson waiting to start a card game
Shantel, Natasha and Orson
The kids were having a "meeting"
Shyler and two neighbor friends put on a "circus" one summer day...Zoey was their lion, and she even jumped through a hoop!
We took a trip to the Grand Canyon & Bryce Canyon, which I already shared pics from..but these ones were on Cole's camera.

When we were driving home, I caught this and joked to Cole that it was the cult being "lifted up"...writing it now, it probably isn't that funny to poke fun at someone's beliefs, but at the time, the coincidence was too much to not take a pic.

Our stake puts on a "triathalon" each summer and here is our ward group that participated this year
Just done with the walk portion, about to take off on the bikes
The final stretch... Jill, myself and Andrea
