Hiking to Stewart Falls

MAY 2009: One of our favorite hikes, and a yearly ritual, is to hike to Stewart Falls. For those of you unacquainted with this hike here are some photos. It is located on the backside of Timpanogos Mountain near Sundance.








Lizzy's Report on Davis County

APRIL 2009: As a fourth grader Lizzy had to do a report on one of Utah's counties. She drew Davis. We were very happy since Davis county is the home to Antelope Island. The island is a beautiful game reserve. We enjoyed hiking around, checking out the animal life, climbing on rocks, and just hanging out at the working ranch located on the southern part of the island.

Happy Birthday to Mom

The kids surprised me on my birthday with a special song. While Lin and I were out for the morning, Nathan taught Lizzy and Caleb how to play Happy Birthday to You on their instruments. This was no small task since they are both beginners and it involved some skills they hadn't learned yet. Nate figured out a way of writing it out with string letters and finger numbers. Then rehearsed it with them. When Seth was feeling left out, they added him in as the singer. He took his part very seriously and practiced with them. All of this was accomplished in about an hour. It was the cutest rendition of Happy Birthday ever.
