Fun Fun

Cierra and I went to Girl Scout Camp at Trefoil Ranch
it turned out to be alot of Fun! We were there 3 days.

They kept us very busy at all times. Cierra got to ride

a horse, hike, crafts, camp chores and best of all meet

new friends. Picture of her and Daddy on Father's Day.

Went to the zoo with friends saw the monkeys, lions, zebras.
Oh My.

Kent and I had a night up atAlta Lodge it was nice so closeto home but cooler, peaceful we had dinner and Sunday brunch.We hiked White Pine Trail hit snow about 3/4 of theway up wait a minute isn't this the middle of July!

Yeah she is spoiled-Cierra had a family 7th b-day and a

friend party at Bouncin Off the Walls. Good times.

Cierra and Ava playin horsey and rodeo queen? Shy boy Aiden.

Campin with friends at Scofeild-the husbands did tri's, Kent

placed 2nd in his division. Summer is more than half over where

did it go? We have plans every other weekend thu October.

Might as well go while you can!!

The Good Ole Summertime

Here we are in June(although it still feels like April)

We went down south to a Forest Ranger Station Cabin

last weekend it was 15 miles down a dirt road away

from everything! It was tucked in some aspen trees

and had several streams running through. The stillness,

openess of the land and stars in the night sky were

incredible. Cierra said she felt like Laura Ingalls who
they studied in school this year and could live there

forever. I think I felt the same.

We hiked up to a pretty little lake with lots of fish in it.

Supposed to be bears in the area but we didn't see any.

Busy Busy

We have had a busy spring this year! April brought Aspyn's 8th Birthday and Aiden's 2nd.

Next a weekend trip to Moab weather alittle chilly but hey can't turn down a bike or hike trip to Moab.

Off to my parents for the weekend took a walk on the Colorado river trail.

Down to St George, Kent did the Tri-Olympic distance this year said the swim was a beast wind was blowing hard but he did great. I took a hike out inSnow Canyon and we discovered a cool place called Xetava Gardens out in Kayenta had breakfast there Mother's Day and walked the Labrinyth. Love it. On to summer!

Bryan Kest Yoga

Bryan Kest came to SLC! He did a 3 day workshop and it was awesome. I had expectations of super difficult poses and corrections of alignment. I was wrong! It was nothing I had not done before but it was the focus that gripped us and became a powerful yoga teaching. The LSD( long,slow and deep) stretching was intense. We ended Sunday with meditations on gratitude, compassion and karma that had I assume, tears flowing freely, mine anyway! It made me realize how much I miss my meditation group back in Colorado.

I attended this retreat with two fantastic friends and Treehouse yoga teachers Angela the Great and Cynthia the Lovely. Thanks girls for the treats, the sharing of the Living Cuisine dinner and stimulating conversation.

Ang and I have decided to go to Red Rock Country in the fall for a four day backpacking/yoga/meditation. I can hardly wait!!

Kauai (Part Two)

Back at Poipu Beach for the day.



Stopped at Shipwreck Beach,bigger waves-surfer beach.

Cierra in her Kauai outfit, going to dinner.

We hiked north of where we stayed and found a couple of nice beaches,this one was deserted. Wish we could have stayed all day! It was beautiful.

One day we went to the North Shore, stopped at Kilauea Point where they farm taro. End of the road. hiked along the Na Pali coast a bit on the Kalalau Trail and hung out at Kee Beach. Stopped in Hanalei for lunch, walked out the pier and then hiked down to Queen's Bath. Lots of turtles there.

Not the last day already. Took the boat ride out to the Fern Grotto, it was fun had a couple girls dancing and taught us the hula. Last stop Lyngate Beach. No worries we'll be back.
