Our Little Campout

Shake it up beks.

And yes, I shared.

Some guys asked if we needed help building a fire. Does it look like we needed their help?

Chopping wood in flip flops... not smart.

I like to pretend I'm the guy from Shooter.

Bekah and Christine.

Over the weekend Rebekah, our friend Christine, and I went camping at Bryce Canyon National Park. We had so much fun. The park was so beautiful. We all want to go again sometime soon!

monday monday monday

we went biking today instead of our usual hiking trips. we rode down the mountain to salem pond. because we lack the leg strength to bike back up the mountain, our mom came to get us and take us home.






we went to a gas station and bought a 44 oz. drink and chips. the drink didn't last more than 5 minutes.

life or something like it

We took this picture tonight while walking. My dad's camera has this black blur that shows up in every picture. One thing we love about summer are the walks at night with our best friend.

Our garden.

One Saturday we planted all these vegetables. They include tomatoes, cucumbers, rhubarb, sweet potatoes, several types of squash, green and red peppers, cilantro, peas, garlic, onions, hot peppers, egg plant, lettuce, green and red cabbage, and beets.

The chicken coop my dad built all by himself (with our help, of course)

Speaking of our dad... Happy Fathers Day. We love you!

monday is our day.

We have started a new tradition: hiking every monday. Although our "traditions" are usually short lived, we've managed to keep this one going for two whole weeks. on the first monday, we found a hike called battle creek falls. the hike was beautiful. while climbing up we failed to realize how steep this trail actually was (please realize our definition of steep is actually not very steep at all). there was a lot of loose rock and this made the hike down a little scary at times. but we managed it safely.

today was our second monday. in the newspaper last week we found a interesting hike and decided to try it out. we found the trail head easily and began to hike. the easiness was short lived as we soon found out there were numerous trails and few markings. "great" we thought as we picked one randomly. several times we'd come to an intersection and find trails going in every direction. perhaps someone who has hiked more than us would have found their trail and followed it easily. but not us. i think the longest we stayed on our trail was 5 minutes. oh and this trail was called corner canyon loop trail. it was also very beautiful.

we can't wait to see what our hike will be next week! and maybe we'll even have a camera to take pictures.

Guatemala 08

In February 08, we went to Guatemala with our dad for a little more than a week. My friend is going there tomorrow and it made me think about how much I liked it there, and I'm a little jealous.

raccoons!

we got to feed raccoons. the raccoon above has milk all over his mouth. they are the cutest things ever! when you rub the back of their head, they start to purr.

(happy mother's day!)

Homemade Pizza

We made this pizza tonight. We used fresh mozzarella and basil. It was delicious.

The smoke detector only went off once;)
