Some new additions at the Cabin

"I'll show you how to ride this thing, Leesy!" She's as much a "gearhead" as her brothers at this point. Alex, on the new swing Daddy put up!Mommy and Elise love to swing on the porch in our sky chairs.Okay, Tanner LOVES this 4 wheeler! He manages it very well, too! And, yes, daddy did buy him all the safe gear to go on it! And, our little Elise showing off that sweet smile!

SLC highlights

Ryan and Shauna introduced us to paddleboarding on the great Salt Lake. The lake is so crazy, tasting saltier than the ocean and attracting unusual bugs and spiders all over. Paddleboarding is one of a handful of recreational attempts on the lake.

The boys loved the adventure!

Shauna's family basically started this whole tradition of Saturday mornings at the lake. Lots of hawaiian influence in food, music and fun. We loved the experience. Here is a picture of the huge "canoes" (because I can't remember the official name) that we took out on the lake.

On our trip up to SLC, we stopped in and admired the huge gorge at Twin Falls.

Our real live Superman!

Late at night at Lagoon with Uncle Ryan and future Aunt Shauna. We opened and closed the park on our trip to SLC! Ryan and Shauna are officially engaged and we couldn't be happier for them! We HAD to make the trip to celebrate with them at Lagoon!We got one last ride on the huge rocking boat! Shauna's least favorite ride and she endured it at least 5 times! This is our 7 year old son, Tanner and his daddy swinging 150 feet in the air on the "superman" ride at Lagoon. It was hard to capture just how high they were. They were cranked up lying supine in harnesses and then Matt had to pull a rip cord to release the the cord and begin the flight. Several people (older kids) had been pulled back down because they were terrified at the top and couldn't bear to pull the rip cord. I expected to hear crying as they sailed over my head, but instead I heard shear joyous laughter. It was a crazy experience. You think you know a kid....Standing in line waiting to go....next. The line was over an hour as they only let one group go at a time. Tanner and Daddy all suited up and ready to go!
My interview with Tanner after the flight. He was honestly a celebrity with all the crowd! They just couldn't believe a 7 year old would attempt that ride!
