Summer vacation

Ok, below are several entries from our summer vacation, with photos and videos. We hope you enjoy!

Lawn games

Old Faithful

Pow-wow video

On our way out to Vernal with the Wrays we stopped to see a pow-wow. It was an interesting contrast to reed dances, Zulu warrior dances, etc. It reminded us how rich and fascinating American history and culture can be.

The Wrays

We had a nice time with our friends the Wrays. It was good to see them again and hang out in Vernal, visiting Amy's family farm. We enjoyed seeing another part of Utah. We hiked up a mountain to see Fremont rock art, went to the dinosaur museum, and watched Ute dancing at a pow-wow. It was a lot of fun.















Hanging with the Wilsons

We had a lot of fun with the Wilsons: hiking, swimming, and hanging out. We hiked to Stuart falls, and went to Seven Peaks. The weather was HOT but we enjoyed ourselves.

















Yellowstone with the Hardings

The Harding family went for a trip to Yellowstone. It was a really nice, relaxing weekend and we enjoyed just hanging out and getting re-acquainted with the family. Yellowstone was amazing, and definitely deserves another trip. We saw lots of animals including bison, deer, elk, coyote, and moose. The geysers were awe inspiring and the scenery was spectacular!
