Summer Adventures

We had a wonderful summer filled with hikes, swimming, playgrounds, trips to the zoo, picking blackberries, playing polly pockets, etc.

A hike to see petroglyphs in Vernal:

A hike with Grandpa and cousins:

A hike with Dad:

All the great faces of this kid:

Couldn't resist putting this swimming shot on the blog - the look of pure joy on her face:

At the zoo - watching the seals here:

Waiting for the bird show:

Loving the blackberries:

We took a trip to Lake Powell with just Rainey and part of my family, and it was heavenly - too many pictures to post, but these give a taste of the magic.


R loved the jet ski. She even got up for a second behind it on two skis.

R was so good about sunscreen, hat, sun shirt over her suit, and life vest: 

 One of the campsites - we had beautiful views each night:

We had more than a week in Woodside, but my phone was not taking pictures. Sadly I only have a few, documenting the magic there - lawn games, pool time, CrossFit sessions, even badminton,

pie baking,
 

reading party,


hiking in the Redwoods,


feeding horses,


working around the property,
  

even a sailing trip on the SF bay with Captain Ben and grandparents and Finlaysons,


Such a perfect way to end the summer. We missed those who couldn't make it to either trip. We have some wonderful memories from the whole summer.
