Imageless

We just got back from Utah. We went for a fast family reunion and to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary! Congrats to them! It was awesome! I took my camera, but I did not get a single shot of the kids playing with their cousins, swimming in the pool, shooting off fireworks, or throwing up in the drive way...you know all the things you do together as a family. So here is my official apology for no pictures. But I can tell you that my kids had so much fun. It was so good to see my family. For the record I would like to tell everyone that Ethan and I hiked up to the Mount Temp. Caves with a bunch of the family. Let me tell you something if you haven't done that hike, it is intense!!! Ethan was a champ, he hiked all the way up and back. By the time we got back to the bottom, my whole body was completely numb. I seriously couldn't feel my arms or legs. I thought I might die up there, but Ethan was trying to run all the way down. The rangers frown on running down the mountain though, something about not being able to stop at a zig or zag and flying off the mountain...Like my dad always says, "It's not the fall that will kill you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom!" Also, I would like to make an honourable mention to my nephew Chandler who made it all the way to the top, through the caves, and back down again mostly on his own two legs! Way to go pal!
