Been a while

We haven't been blogging lately. What gives? Anyway, I haven't posted to Yosemite pics yet, but thay are forthcoming. I will also post some pics of the hike that Corbin and I did this past Saturday - Orderville Canyon in Zion. It was really fun and really hard. I think it was about 13 miles. I started law school and it is going well so far. That's it for now - I'll post pics later.

Good Times at the Mid-State Fair!

The first photo in the show is of Garrett helping Grandpa build a fire for the marshmallows we roasted for Smores on our first night in Bearcat territory. Kids had a blast... a bit too much chocolate however as Garrett's indulgence in at least a full bar and a half kept him, and therefore us, up all night... The show moves on to the pics of us enduring, oh I mean enjoying, the Mid-State Fair! Giddyup and Yeeee Haaaw! Honestly, it was fun for the kids and the 100+ degree heat, well... um.. it's all in the name of love. Seriously, personally we are talking major sacrificing for the love of my children. How do you think Ms. Paranoid feels about the stability of the TEMPORARY carnie rides and the caliber of the operators? But she was on the ferris wheel TWICE! And how about the caliber of the other fair attendees? And the suffocating heat? And the dirt and dust? And a note, the pic of everyone sitting down on a bench - Let me give a couple more location details... the bench is outside the restrooms, to the left of Dad is a long row of porta-potties and to Don's right is a garbage can. Just don't breathe through your mouths folks, at least we have shade. So anyway... we had a fun filled day of fair rides, fair food and fair animal manure! The sideways pic is of Garrett mimicking Don with his hands on his hips... so cute. As far as the rest of the time in Paso, we did not chronicle the trips to the antique stores, or as Olivia referred to them, "grubbage stores", but much fun was had there as well as luck. I found the perfect ribbon cabinet, because yes, I have enough spools of ribbon to require a piece of furniture. Olivia really wanted a typewriter, but was a bit disappointed when I explained that specific ribbon was required, and even I didn't have that kind. We also went down to Morro Bay and the Shell Store and fed the seals. Garrett LOVED the marine life! We had a great time visiting Mom & Dad!

Wow Cabo

Cabo looked fun from the pictures, but I bet it was more fun in person. Yep, it was - I know because I was there. It was relaxing and awesome, Luke and I actually played tennis everyday so we got some exercise. We had a really great time there. We look forward to going back. Although, I did get Montezuma's revenge this time. I thought that I was impervious to it after my mission and the fact that this was my 4th time in Mexico - but it may be tied to my stomach problems. I guess next time I will have to better about circumnavigating.

And next week is our father and son's adventure! We are all growing out our 'staches to commemorate the occasion. We will take pictures of those so stay tuned.

Cabo!
