Skunked and.... skunked again!

Can you find the deer?

Don't worry, neither could we!! :)

Wait...

Nope, just a doe (who got away too fast for me to get a picture)... and then later some other fellow hunters!
But otherwise we got skunked! No deer this year. But we got to go camping, ate some good food, got in some hiking, nice scenery...

and good company!
Here is our underage hunter- who wasn't allowed to carry a gun of course, but he did have a tomahawk! Which he planned to put to good use when he said:

"I'm going to kill a squirrel with my tomahawk!"

Bridal Veil Falls

The other weekend Nate and I went for a hike. We hiked near Bridal Veil Falls. It was only the two of us so our pictures were... "okay, now you go stand over there" while the other would take, pretty much, the same picture! Needless to say the pictures all turned out looking... similar!!!

But the fall colors were beautiful and it was a good hike!

California Beach Time!

This is us just before the cruise- we got to stay a night in San Diego with Nate's sister, her family and some friends of theirs because it just so happened they were vacationing at the same time! Lucky for us! They had an awesome place on the beach for an awesome deal! It was great!

We loved getting the chance to go boogie boarding!! (plus we saw something in the water- I was freaked out and so excited all at once! I have such a thing for sea creatures- its weird!)



We loved doing one of my favorite things- running from waves!

And of course we loved burying Tye in the sand!

The only thing we didn't love, or rather I didn't love was when Hans and Hansie decided to start throwing that sea weed stuff (whatever its called) on me to freak me out! :) It worked! I hate that stuff, especially when your out in the water and it touches your leg- gives me the chills!

We had a lot of fun- and I figured sense it has pretty much turned from summer to winter in one day up here in Utah I better get my summer pictures posted fast! Seriously- its freezing now! One day it was 85 to 90 degrees and the next it was 45 degrees... what is up with that. Guess we decided to just skip fall! (I should have taken a pictures of everyone bundled up at Nate's flag football game last night- everyone had broken out the winter jackets and I came home with numb feet) I'm not ready for winter- but I always start getting excited for Christmas about this time anyways, so I guess its time for the weather to change- but I'm not too excited about it.

So now I'm looking at these warm summer pictures with a cup of hot chocolate, a sweater and warm socks on!! :)
