over the past couple weeks, we've had a chance to do some fun things. below is the recap.
a few saturdays ago, b and i woke up and decided to go hiking in rock canyon. that turned into going all the way up to squaw peak. that wasn't the original plan--so we weren't super prepared--but we did have some food and water. and there's a lovely, beautiful spring along the way where we drank lots and lots of good mountain water. it's a pretty strenuous hike, but the view from the top is great.

another one from the top.on the way back down, we found some juneberries (aka saskatoons and serviceberries). we all enjoyed eating some, although brian enjoyed them the most. i started getting too thirsty.
b and the berries.on the 24th of august, william started school again. he's now in 2nd grade. on the first day, we took him to the creamery so he could have a special donut breakfast.
me and william before heading out. notice w's grey t-shirt. he likes wearing plain grey shirts because b often wears plain grey shirts. he likes looking like this dad!
w and b at the creamery. recently, we decided it was time to say good-bye to the garter snake that w caught awhile ago. he caught it because he thought leche would eat it, but leche didn't eat it. they actually seemed to become friends.
w just moments before he let the garter snake go.last weekend we went up to the high uintas to explore some new lakes. we ended up getting in a pretty good hike still (about 7 miles i think), although it was a lot flatter than other parts of the uintas. brian had pretty good luck fishing (he caught 7 trout), but william and i never had a bite. it doesn't make a lot of sense, but so it goes with fishing. on the outing we saw some neat animals (including a frog, several deer, some nice birds, etc), and we also found out that if you turn hiking into a game of hide and seek, it can be more fun for an 8-year-old kid.
b and w with the best fish of the day: a fine cutthroat. 
a nice nature shot.last sunday we noticed that our peach tree's peaches were ripe! we each picked 4 peaches, and then came in to eat them. they were really good. it's so exciting to have our own fruit tree!

i love w's face in the picture where he is eating peaches. i'm pretty sure that is what i look like when i am eating peaches too. :)
i'm keeping that hide and seek while hiking game in my back pocket...i think that will come in handy.
i enjoy seein' the happenins' of the provo roberts. seems every day is another fun adventure. the peaches look wunnerful. we've been enjoying peaches, but not from our very own tree. and there's nothing like a plain gray t-shirt. beware, it could turn into an obsession. :o
His face seems to be lloking more like B, but his hair is looking more like N's. Hmm...
Love the pics. And those peaches look really good! I'm impressed that they came from your tree.
