I can blog again!! As I just got back on track from such a busy start to the summer, our computer contracted a virus. Ughhh!! That was awful. It happened just two days before Scott was headed to Costa Rica. He is the computer guru in the family. So for the whole week he was gone I had no computer. When he got back he diligently squeezed time into his busy schedule to try to get it fixed. At one point we seriously thought about just dishing out some money and replacing the machine. That was going to be pricey and we aren't ready to do that. Being the smart man that he is, he talked to a few different computer guys and geeks and got their advice and opinions and was able to save all of our documents and pictures (thank heaven!!!!) but basically had to rebuild the machine. Doing that, I do not any more have any picture editing program, and I just figured out today that I do have something to at least view and get our pictures to add to the blog. Back in business. Next I have to figure out if I upload pictures from the camera to the computer and view them and figure out how to file them to find them again.
Anyway, back to getting the blog up to date. I am now way far behind at the beginning of July. If you follow our blog--Sorry.
Since the 4th of July fell on a Sunday this year, it turned into a 3 day holiday. The Stadium of Fire was held on Saturday the 3rd. Scott volunteered with his radio skills to help out at the Stadium of Fire. So we hooked up with the Jarvis' for a fun family hike in Rock Canyon.
A few minutes up the trail from Rock Canyon Park and we run into this gate. It provided a few minutes of entertainment for the kids. Probably more if we didn't move them along.
It was a very hot day. This drinking fountain became a favorite. Rubie decided to get the full effect she must be right up on the drinking fountain where she could get right into the water. It was also at this spot that we or rather Karl "literally" ran into us. He had just finished an epic trail run.
Noah and Eric following Karl up the trail.
Rubie tends to dally behind. There are a lot of things to catch her attention.
Where is Max and Sarah?
Oh, here they come.
The boys find some pretty yellow flowers. Since Rubie is a girl they figure they are supposed to give her the flowers. She also found the pretty necklace. Which quickly became a hot item between her and Max.
More flowers.
These are nice but what am I supposed to do with all these?
Along the trail we spotted a cave. The boys climbed up into it and imagined what it would be like to be an animal living in the cave.
Or what it would be like to camp overnight in it. Noah even laid out plans where everyone would sleep.
The trail gave us a beautiful view of Utah Valley.
Most of us moved on, but Rubie just wanted to sit and enjoy...who knows what.
You want me to keep hiking?
She was pretty much done. We finished the hike, me mostly carrying Rubie. I don't even remember what we did next. Probably just went home and carried on a normal routine as Scott would be really late at the Stadium of Fire.
