Book Club

Olive has always been a fan of books, we have been reading to her since she was first born. There are a few books she has heard over and over and likes to read along.

Hula Hoop, Baseball & Gnomes

A ranger in the park (Betsy) made a hula hoop for Olive. She isn't much of a hula girl but she does like to run around with it. Thanks Betsy!


Will and Olive also got to spend some time together watching the All Star Game on TV. It is always a good day for a little baseball with dad.


To top my week off, I was lucky enough to meet the Travelocity Roaming Gnome. Yes. It is really him and he is really on a mule. Go gnome.

Visitor!

This past week we had a visit from my good friend Kristy. We went sightseeing around the park and took a couple of day hikes down into the canyon. We had lots of laughs, discussions of improper use of quotation marks, and as you will see below a slew of canyon modeling. We did have to "pump the breaks" a few times. "True."

More pics from around the house

As promised...a few more pictures from around the house. Also a few shots of Olive visiting the horses we use for patrol on the South Rim. She loves to make her horse noises when we go to visit the boys.
