Father & Son Hike

Our oldest son went with his dad on his first backpacking trip ever. They were ambitious and tackled a three day hike in Death Hallow. Both boys had a great time and my husband now has a new hiking buddy. Enjoy the slideshow.

Hot Air Balloon Ride

Last Saturday we were able to help my mom check something off her "bucket list." She's always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon. Even though the ride was short and we were tethered to the ground (not really rising above 100-150 feet), it was great. I even climbed into the basket, which was tricky at 37 1/2 weeks pregnant.




Make-A-Wish Foundation

Our oldest son's best friend was able to have a wish granted. He has a degenerative muscle condition. But without going into details about that, I'll just share some pictures from the party where his wish was granted. We went up to the Make-A-Wish Foundation Building in Salt Lake and had a great time celebrating. He wished for Star Wars Lego Sets. And boy did he get it...along with a million Star Wars characters to deliver them. It was a great experience.
