I'm back

Whoa, It has been a while since I have last posted a blog. I feel like we have been really busy but I can't find enough pictures to evidence that. I can't believe summer is over already although we have been having some great weather the past couple of weeks, I'll be sad when that is over. For labor day weekend we went with our neighbors to Solitude Ski Resort. It was such a fun get away. My neighbor had such a better camera than me that I didn't take hardly any pics and haven't had a chance to get them from her. Here's a few that I took, when I get them I'll maybe post some more or if you want she's got them on her blog at Hadleypage.blogspot. com. Here is the nice pool.
we went on a really fun hike called the Donut falls hike as you can see the water came thru this hole like a donut.
You had to do a little bit of rock climbing to get up there, this was the view from below so if you didn't climb up to the top you would never see the actual donut falls.

The resort was pretty close to Park City so we also went there and did some shopping at the outlet stores and ate a yummy dinner on main street.

My sister Annaliese, niece and her husband came in to town for a little bit and this is Penny's first day to Utah to stay since she started BYU a couple of day later. You can't tell from this pic but she seemed a little shell shocked her first day here. But since then I think she's quite warmed up to the place and is having a blast at BYU and comes to our house on Sunday's and shares her college life stories with us.



We went to the drive in movies which is one of our fave summer activities unfortuantly we only made it there once this summer.

In other news we were quite proud of this new recipe we tried- frozen lemonade pie and Ryan did an excellent job prettying it up

Is this a pride thing? Orson finally posted a new one and so Diane & Ryan are forced to one up him? Well, all for the best.

That pie looks rather fantastic.

That's a nice hiking spot, and you're right ryan did a great job making it look beautiful.

If i were in the 1'upping business i would post a picture of the The Best Sandwhich in the Universe, that i made for lunch the other day.

I'm so glad to finally get some updates. You look so cute in all the pics and I miss you! Lynds and I were just discussing how it was almost exactly five years ago that we went on the cruise...
