August 2016

A fire in Box Elder county yielded epic sunsets. 

Zachary, Quinton, and Stephen joined Bryan and Carter Carlsen for a camping trip to Hyrum Reservoire State Park. We kyaked across the reservoire. The next morning, the boys dug up tr(ash)easure from the water at the beach.

Stomping on radish seed pods. This is how we thresh larger pods when saving seed. Then we use a blower to blow out the pods, leaving the seeds (mostly) at the bottom.

Morning hike up Providence Canyon with dad. It took several tries, but we finally got one with all three smiling(ish).

The epic Rosie grin.

Grilled peaches, ready to go visit a bowl of ice cream.

Here Stephen is next to the rocks where the local eagles have their nests in the spring.

Going on a walk to the park. Lillyth and Quinton insisted that everyone hold hands. 

The flag on saddle rock on the south side of Providence Canyon.
Jillian and here little man.

She did her make up. Again. Using paint.

We went to This Is The Place state park and toward about half of it before Lillyth fell apart, needing a nap. Then we went out for Chinese in SLC's china town. 

Stilt walking. Or not. None of us, except Lillyth, did very well.

The reason Lillyth did well, is she had help. 

Getting ice cream. You'd think they would serve old fashioned ice cream, but it was snowman poop (our Stephen's euphemism for soft serve).

Zachary got his first shave from the barber. After being tied to the chair. Just in case.

While Jillian and the older children toured one of Brigham Young's homes, Stephen and the little people did laps on the wrap-around porch. 

A wild tree baby in her natural environment. This girl would frequently be found up trees in the back yard all summer long.
