So Cute!

Over the river and through the woods...

Grandma Gayla once asked Bronson what one of his favorite activities was...his answer was "walking in the woods with my dad". Bronson loves to go on walks when he is in Washington and asks everyday to go on one, rain or shine (many times rain in this state). We have over 20 miles of trails in our community that surround our house and it makes for a great activity (and good way to burn energy) for the kids. We don't exactly do it for the cardio - the kids stop every 50 feet to pick flowers, pick up sticks, or "search for animal tracks", but we all have a great time.

Typical picture of them all going at their own pace as they look for sticks and flowers.

It's Summer Somewhere...

Thank Goodness for Utah! At least we have a place to go this summer where it is sunny and hot. As of late July, Washington still only had a few "summer days" but luckily Utah has enough heat to make up for it. We fully enjoyed the nice weather going to the water park on the base (thanks to Gayla), the zoo (early enough in the morning that we weren't dripping with sweat), and filled the pool in the backyard for the kids.
