Crazy Second Half of Summer

This summer was a little lop-sided. The first half was pretty uneventful. Not a lot going on.

The second half was crazy. It was a juggernaut of back-to-back excursions/vacations; one right after one another for nearly 2 months straight. Here's the run down:

  • Snowbird: This is the Biennial (every other year) trip with Megan's side of the family. I talked about it in another post, but, it was really fun, to say the least.




  • The Subway: The whole family did the subway in Zion National Park. I've been wanting a redo of the crazy family epic subway disaster a few years ago. Mainly to get Hudson over her PTSD of the ordeal. I thought, well, if I'm going to take the older kids, let's just take them all. This was really nice. Everyone did amazing.




  • Tommy's annual climb and girls camp: I climbed Mt. Gannet, the highest peak in Wyoming and the second hardest of the high peaks. It's mainly rated so difficult because of the distance. From the Dubois approach, it was 30 miles in and 30 miles out. It took 5 days for Mark, Ryan and I; our longest trip yet. At the same time, the girls went to girl's camp.






  • Bear Lake: This year, we went with Brenn's family. Brenn was in full funny uncle mode.

  • Boys' camping trip/Girls' annual trip: My brothers wanted to organize a camping trip for our father's 80th birthday. We went camping in the Uintahs, where he spent time in his youth.












  • School: School started the next week so we didn't go anywhere, but prepping for school was an ordeal of it's own.












  • Bear Lake (Again): On a whim, Megan invited some friends to come up and hang out at the Bear Lake house on labor day. This was more a chance to get in one last visit to the cabin.
