Botox Gone Badly

It's been a busy summer for us and I haven't had much time to blog. I'm having a pretty tough day because I just found out our renters aren't going to buy our house in OR, so I'm officially in freak-out mode. I'm trying to take my mind off of it so here is a quick catch up on our summer.

Hiking in Maple Canyon. . . . Also known as the before picture for great effect scroll up and down a few times.
4th of July - Greyson was stung by a wasp on his lip. I cried and was so worried. Keep in mind we're in Boulder 4 hours from a hospital. The head wound is from Maple canyon the week before. He hiked up a rock slot canyon all by himself and then after we were in the flat cave at the top he tripped and fell and cut his eyebrow. It bled so bad that his whole face and hair were covered. He still has a scar.


He looked like a monkey. It was so sad as he tried to push it down. He also tried to have his binky but he could suck on it with the huge lip.

Waiting for the Parade. Boulder 4th of July is the best. If you want to be in the parade you just meet at one end of town and line up. It last about 10 minutes and Greyson got tons of candy (meaning we as adults got tons :))

In a truly rare weather day it poured on us while hiking over the 4th. Greyson and Ben and I had to head back early because Greyson was so cold.

Tobey pouting because I sprayed him with the hose

Great Basin National Park last weekend
Ben and I were super tired so we ended up staying in Delta on the way. We got this super fun hotel for only $38 bucks! The water was sulfur so we didn't shower and the bathroom ceiling was so low you had to duck, but who can beat that deal!
My little climber
I made it!

Lehman caves, Incredible.

He was sure he could lift this rock and tried it several times.
Oooohhh.
We went hiking on an incredible trail. We had the whole place to ourselves with deer everywhere.

Zip line adventures

For Fathers Day we built a zip line at our cabin in Payson. It was so much fun!

Mama please don't take my Kodachrome away. . .

For those that don't know the title is from a Paul Simon song 'Kodachrome'. If I had the skills I would have a play list and have it playing, but instead you'll have to just hum it.
Kodachrome Basin State Park

It was a rainy stormy Memorial Day weekend, but we had a blast visiting one of the places on our list. We explored every part of Kodachrome in the two days we were there. The rock is so fragile that you can't climb on most of it. It just crubles beneath you. Greyson was a great climber. He is fearless and tackled rock mound after rock mound with great pleasure. It's good to see my child in the red rock. Enjoy the pics.

This one's just for you Heidi. . .
