Hurray for Legacy Parkway

I am excited for the opening of Legacy Parkway this Saturday! No I don't commute but there is a nice paved bike/walking path the whole length of the road. In the last 2 weeks Dan and I have snuck on 3 times and biked almost the whole thing, which is only 18 miles, and it's so nice. I have wanted to ride my bike during the day but there is so much traffic I'm always to nervous to do it. Now I have a safe place to ride. They have done a very nice job on the Parkway, everything is quite attractive. It should make Dan's commute a little smoother as well.

One more look...

Just one more look of Brent's trip to Sarah's. Sarah decided she wanted to paint a mural on one of her walls. What a perfect thing for a crazy brother and sister to do. Brent came up with the basic design and Sarah the embellishments.

I also got to take my annual trip to Nashville in the springtime. I was lucky enough to be able to cheer Sarah on as she ran a 5K. She did great in the pouring rain. It was fun to go out with her friends to dinner and a night of bowling. It's fun to go and get a feel for her life there. This is a friend and fellow teacher, Kara, (not to be confused with her former room mate Kara) that ran with Sarah. It was Kara's first 5K.

More Of Our Summer Fun

This is Lake Blanche taken by Brent this summer.

Here he is at the top of Lone Peak. Another fun adventure he took..

To answer Rick's question Brent likes to play more than work! It just so happens that Brent's employer gave him more vacation time than he was supposed to so Brent kept taking it! In Brent's defence he didn't know until he had pretty much used it all so they didn't worry about it. Talk about a good boss!

This summer Brent also went to Flaming Gorge with his singles ward for a couple of days, in the rain, but they had fun anyway. He and Dan also went on their annual baseball trip to Colorado to cheer for the Dodgers. They get great seats right behind home plate all the free food you can eat! Brent makes good use of that by ordering something each inning. Yes, he does end up with a stomach ache. His friend Craig will vouch for that.

Get excited, more of our summer fun to come...I know you can't wait!

I, like Jolyn, don't have much to write about so I live though my children. Brent also went back packing in Glacier Nat'l Park for a couple of days. If you look real close you can see one of the bears they encountered. I love the pictures of the clear lake water, I have never seen such clear water!

A trip to Sarah's

Brent went to visit Sarah this summer for a few days. While there they tried their hand at Frisbee Golf, here are the results or should I say performance. They do have fun together. I promise these are all very short. While there Brent also tried out for Blueman Group, too bad he didn't make it, but he did have fun.

Here is some more fun from our family picture day!

While Sarah was here this summer we attempted

doing our own family pictures. Not bad except for

one grumpy face, she smiled in all the others!
