24th of July Weekend

We just had a great weekend in Idaho with Matt and Julie's family.

Thursday we had a great day relaxing together, riding 4-wheelers, shooting clay pigeons, enjoying some delicious home-made cream cheese won tons and playing a fun game of Scategories.

Friday we took a trip to a hot spring and then went and played in the river.
On the way home we took a little "short-cut." The road was rather dusty and I was following my brother Matt way too closley, so... I slid us off the road. By some miraculous intervention the car stopped before rolling down the hill. It was a very scary few moments, but it brought about a great learning experience for me and some wonderful spiritual experiences for all of us involved. I was so grateful for my family that was involved and the way everyone pulled together. The friday night fun was just beginning at this point. Merrill's Expedition got stuck in 4 wheel drive. (Not good for somone scheduled to be in a triathlon in 12 hours.) Then there were some pulmbing "issues" that got discovered when we got back to Matt and Julie's. Oh wow... quite a day.

Saturday we got up early and headed to Burley, ID to watch Merrill compete in the Spudman triathlon. There was such a great energy there as he ran in to finish the race.

As you can see we had a GREAT weekend together.

Tucker's First Haircut



BEFORE
A FEW DAYS AFTER
So.... Tucker's mom thought it would be a good idea to give him his first haircut. (Don't ask me what she was thinking.) Well good thing hair grows back, and good thing he's only one :)
