We went Bow hunting in August with our good friends the Hawkins and Robison's. (Brandi's brother). We had a blast! We went down to the Monticello Mountains. This is our tradition. We went hunting, exploring, going on Wild rhino rides, Newspaper Rock in Canyon lands, went looking for dinosaur tracks, read books (the women of course!) and relaxed.
This was the first night there.Our view from our campsite. BEA_UTIFUL!
We decided to take the crew on a long wild rhino ride. I have been on this before and thought it was awesome! I forgot some parts where a little WILD. I probably conventionally forgot how adventurous it was...because I knew that Brandi wouldn't go! :) Shame on me, I know! :)
This is us trailing along.
Brandi and Hunter seem to be happy here. I think this was the very beginning of the trail.
Our little ones...maybe a little to hot and crowded?
We saw a lot of the beautiful mountain... Our men looking for their deer.
Brandi giving me the shame on you finger. Hilarious!
We went through a VERY wooded area. We were scraping our rhino's to get through the trees. It was very narrow, dark and adventurous!
The Aspen's lining the trail.

Oh, MY LAND! This was so dang funny! Brandi and I were laughing so hard. I was acting like I was taking a picture of her to get this European. He was hilarious! Look at his stance! Look at that camera! What in the land is he doing? Really you need that kind of lense to take a picture of Newspaper Rock? Good times!

Wow! We look so HOT! A couple of days of camping can do this to you. :)
We were really lucky to have a tourist guide...Mr. Bryce Westcott to show us around Canyonlands. He showed us some awesome dinosaur tracks.
Wha la! Isn't this amazing?! Seriously! It was so awesome to be there and see this. To REALIZE that this really happened. All those books you have read about on dinosaurs...were actually true! To really see it...was AWESOME

Look closely! You can see Monument Valley. We were up high on the Mountain looking for deer, No deer but...incredible views!
One of the many beautiful sunsets on the Blues.
We spotted this deer...thinking it was still alive! Oh, my land! This was SO good! NOT SO! This kid had the deer HEAD on this back. Climbing up the mountain like a wild man... literally on all fours. He was very proud of his success! Rightfully SO! :)
Meryn and her friend Marli. These two girls had such a blast this year. The kids had no idea what they were doing until the end of the season. It was hilarious for the parents to watch. :)
Marli. I thought this was Meryn with Coach Doug Webb. Oh, well. Coach Webb was awesome with the kids. I could never do it! There we're A LOT of melt down's and some fighting but coach handled it well. Especially for 4 year olds!
The twins are ready to go to school! This is there first year of preschool and they love it! We love Learning Dynamics and would recommend it to anyone!
Meeting Mrs. Cook for the first time. Meryn had her last year! Love her! (Ashton has the funniest faces!)

Highland Fling. In Utah there is a celebration for each city in the summer months. In Highland it is the end of July. I love summers here. We get to see fireworks almost every week in the summer. It's awesome! This is Bryce at the parade wearing some advertisement for a bank.
