Summer Lovin'. Having a BLAST!

We have had quite the adventurous summer this year! We were able to take some courses through the U of U the ensured a summer of camping and hiking. The first class we took togehter was Canyoneering. We went down to some slot canyons near Lake Powell where we rapelled, hiked, and Scott even carried Carynn through 3 feet of stagnant water on his shoulders.

The second class we took was a backpacking and fly fishing class. We hiked about 2 miles up the Uintas to a small river. It was Carynn's first time backpacking and Scott's first time fly fishing. You can tell from the picture above he was an immediate pro!

To add to our fun summer, we also spent a week in Durango, CO. with Carynn's family. We went horseback riding, hiking, river rafting, and of course, we went to the Bar-D Chuckwagon!! We had a family foose-ball tournament and Scott came in 2nd place.

Scott's Family recently came down to visit us here at ZPR. We had fun playing host and hostess and planning all the activities. One of the highlights of their visit was going into the park and hiking Angel's Landing. It was Carynn's first time on the hike and it was a truely unforgettable experience (especially thanks to Katie and Tyler for making it so)!

It has been a wonderful summer so far and we plan on it continuing that way. Our goal before we move home is to hike every trial in Zion's.

So stay posted for more stories of our adventures!
