Butterfield Canyon
After a morning at the dog park, we took a drive up Butterfield canyon.
It was surprisingly very green.
Overlook of the city.
Gabe and Sam.
Looking down into Kennecott mine at the top of Butterfield Canyon.When we arrived home, we declared it bath time.
I'm convinced that there is no word that Gabe hates more than "Bath". Once the word "Bath" is said out loud, a game of hide and seek is sure to follow as he is gone and hiding in an instant.The entire time you are bathing him he looks up at you with his pitiful, pouting eyes making you feel like the worst person in the world for wanting a clean puppy.
Sam doesn't love bath time, but he also doesn't dread it like Gabe does.The weekend prior...Ben, Sheila, and Christy were over for dinner.

Palisade Lake
We went backpacking in the Uintahs over the July 24th weekend. Although we had a great time....we did face a couple of challenges:
1-Gabe (our trail master) is having a hard time in his older age AND
2- The mosquito's this year... were downright awful.
Gabe and Sam leading the way
Sam just had to try to lay in every body of water that we came across. It was pretty funny. Poor guy gets hot so easily.
The pictures really don't do the beauty justice...this overlook was breathtaking.
This was (I can't remember the name) meadow
Palisade lake. Our camping spot was perfect. It was on a small cliff about 100 ft above the water. I don't think I could have asked for a more perfect spot.

Family picture...I love the little camera stand thingy Matt found for our camera. It's so flexible.

Dinner time.
Our chillin Rock.
Matt up at the break of dawn...I was still sound asleep in the warm tent.
Sam playing in the lake.
Nap Time.
We were worried about how Gabe would handle the hike back so on Saturday we decided to hike a portion of the way out to break it up for him.
More Family Pictures.
Our second camp site. This site was far enough from the lake that we were able to start a fire. This was a huge help with the mosquitos...for a minute anyways.
Us.
Matt once again up at the break of dawn.
Betsy Lake.
Our hike back ...the pups still leading the way.
Our trip home would not be complete without stopping to get the fattiest/greasiest meal we could find.

Tending Fun
Last weekend we got to tend our nephew along with his pups Mufasa and Havok. He is such a good baby...we just love watching him.
I can't get over how fast he's growing up.
Mufasa lounging on the couch.
I love this picture.
Nap Time.
Brock watching Mr. Matt on the computer.
Now we know how to get him to fall asleep haha!
Sam LOVES kids.
After our power went out for the entire day leaving us with no air conditioning and a house of 92 degrees...we decided to take a trip to the dog park to cool off. How we managed to fit Matt, myself, the baby, and 4 dogs into my car is beyond me but we made it happen.
The dog park was a lot of fun and Brock just loved watching all of the dogs play.
I'm sure someday when I have kids they are going to hate me following them around with the camera all day but hey....it gave my pups a break for a minute! :)
