What a beautiful world!






Okay, now with the computer under control, I think I can post a few pictures. We took a shuttle up the canyon and rode our bikes 18 miles down the canyon. I was thinking that it was all down hill, but it was more like through the canyon, not down. As if this was not enough, we decided to do a hike called hanging lake where we climbed 1000 feet in elevation in 1 mile. I (Julie) was the one slowing everyone down, it seemed straight up to me, but the boys jumped from rock to rock the whole way up (including Broc). It was well worth the hike, as you can see...

After we finished the hike/ride we all agreed that Trav was a trooper. He would have gotten the "Special Plate" if we would have had it with us, he deserved it. His eyes were almost swollen shut by the time we got back into town and we didn't hear him complain much! No worries, his eyes are back to beautiful today!
After an all day work out on Monday, we spent the next day relaxing in the hot springs pool. The pool was amazing, it was as long as two football fields and had a hot therapy pool that was huge also. Rumor has it that the therapy pool is supposed to help a person sleep better, but the boys were still full of energy when we got back to camp after nine hours at the pool. We "made" them go to bed, as they said and they didn't budge until 8am, which is sleeping in for them. All in all, it was a great time and the boys favorite part was going miniture golfing, playing cards and camping. I guess it goes to show that it doesn't take a trip across the world for kids to have fun, they just love being together. We're thankful that we get to be together so much and that our boys still love to be with their family the most!

Hey Ju- broc told me you started up a blog. It's very cute--and I"m very proud of myself for finding it all on my own. Can I put you on my list?? Or is this strictly for adoption purpose?
