A little bit of Summer

 One of the first things we did this summer was go for a hike. With Marc and Judy's help we were able to decide on desolation trail which has an overlook of the Salt Lake Valley at the end. After what seemed like the longest hike we finally made it. Poor Tyler had to stop every so often for me...or i would have died. I really need to do this more.  I refused to let Tyler take our picture at the top until my red face had died down a bit, but its still a bit pink after maybe 30 minutes or so. My darn my red face makes me look like i am even  more out of shape than i really am ;)

 Here was the view at the top. It was very pretty!

Going to the Anderson Cabin was another fun thing we did one weekend. I was determined to get Tyler up there to see it since I have been there almost every single summer of my entire life. Sadly this time the swing was taken down. It was sad to walk up to where I used to spend most my time whenever we would go to the cabin and see a cut down tree :(

 And no worries Mom, Tyler thought it was beautiful and did enjoy his stay!  this is proof for you lol :)

 Love this place :) and not to mention I came up here to help stain those benches on the deck with Judy, Grandma, Noreen, and Alyssa. Made me appreciate it even more!

 Next up was the Hogle Zoo. If i didnt get to Lagoon (which we didnt) I was at least determined to go to the zoo. I love the animals :) It was a pretty hot day, and thankfully we got some cloud cover and even some rain  to add to the fun.

 Cant go to the zoo without drinking from the lions head!

 I also decided to brave the bird show so Tyler could see it....for all of you who dont know, I HATE birds....I'm sure I looked ridiculous trying to dodge the flying birds. I swear if I didn't some of those doves would have smacked right into my head.  But overall, if they kept their distance like this eagle I am ok with them.

 The last major thing we did was go to the Kinsman family reunion up in near Twin falls. It was at a place called Nat Soo Pah. It was at a campground with a pool that uses the hot springs water. It was definitely a different kind of swimming pool, but we enjoyed ourselves. It was much nicer swimming at night rather in the heat of the day in a warm pool.

 Before we left Twin falls, we saw this beautiful river and quickly pulled over before entering the interstate and took some pictures. Below is a picture of some one who parachuted off the bridge. Some people are crazy! I dont think I could do it, but it was good entertainment.

 See, isnt it pretty?
