Timpanogos Cave

I love when Mason's Sister and her family come into town. It means there is always a party going on somewhere, and we do things we wouldn't normally do... like hike... not unless someone forces us. I can't believe I have lived in Utah my whole life and have never hiked up to the Timpanogos Caves. I forgot how beautiful Utah is.. until I was 1000 feet up looking down.

Still conducting business as usual on the trail..

(There's still concrete that needs to be poured!..his words, not mine.)

Cash had a good time until his feet went numb from the "infant" carrier.. apparently he's not an "infant" anymore..

A few bites to remember the trip..

Did you know this cave was found by a man following moutain lion tracks... why would you ever follow a moutain lion, let alone into a cave!

Its Independence Day

Mason and I always disagree on which holiday is the best. For me, its the 4th of July, the day of our Independence. Although I do truly enjoy the taste of a hot dog fresh off the grill, and I do love the smell of fireworks just after dark, and I even enjoy waking up early to see the parade. But this year I realized the true reason I love the fourth of July. I love that Mason and I ate breakfast together for the first time in a long time, and were able to spend the day together. Its the best because I had no schedule to follow, no appointments to make, except with the pool. The real reason I love the fourth of July is to spend time with my family and to enjoy conversations with the people I love. God Bless America.
