And finally, almost a week later, the promised goods on our family reunion. We all drove the long and heinous distance to a scenic Colorado mountain town (except those lucky Coloradans). Beautiful place! Almost made up for the fact that we will, once again, not be camping in the Uintas this year :( Anyway, the first short hike was to the "rusty truck of doom" as it has been named:
Probably not very safe, but apparently cool (a river runs through it...)
The next day we made up for all that sitting in the car time by hiking straight uphill for about 7 or 8 miles. Long hike, lovely scenery, aching legs. I suppose the view was worth it :)
High enough altitude to enjoy winter in July.
Nothing like relaxing in a dirty snow pile with a filthy dog.
The kids enjoyed a sweet little fields of flowers blooming everywhere. They were almost as cute too.
And a little boy birthday celebration complete with cupcakes and candles:
And this reunion wouldn't be complete without a photo of a half-naked child with food on his face. Enjoy!

I think the "rusty truck of doom" is pretty darn cool (how often does a river go through a truck cab?). Beautiful scenery-impressed by the hike--would have been the end of me :)
hey we are coming out on Friday until the 10th of August. Want to play?
Kell, it sure was thrilling (the truck, not the hike :)
Amy, YES YES YES!!!!
So....wanna take a guess at what calling I got today in our new ward? I'll give you a clue: what is the one calling that you never want when you move into a new ward because it confines you to a 9x9 with 20 screaming children? You should be familiar with it....
Oh, Rachel, you lucky, lucky girl. Welcome to the club. Sundays will be a definite day of "rest" - but the kids are so cute!
