Mark and Nick's big adventure

Mark and Nick didn't have enough fun on the 4th, so they set out for their own adventure the next day. They headed up to Zion and did the narrows:You should have seen the mark this stick left!



The narrows wasnt enough, so they set out up the Mountain (or up the cliff)

After it was dark, and they had hiked about 15 miles they set up camp. And then a few hours later the sun came up
What goes up, must come down, so they headed back down the mountain.
Not too bad for a banker huh? I was so happy to have him back home, even if he couldn't move so well, and had lots of band aids for blisters. I am also super happy that Nick went with him :)

4th of JULY

Our 4th of July was super fun- not because of us, but because of Nick and Heather who came from Florida to kick it!! As always, the wiggle cars were a hit:


Mark had a great time lighting the fireworks and Chrystal helped too. But we are super lucky to have neighbors who go all out with fireworks. They put on a great show!
Jens thought the fireworks were pretty cool, but a little noisy Wait, where is MJ? The kid that would not stop talking about fireworks, or fireworks stands. The kid that picked out all the fire works? Oh yeah, she is hiding in the house or behind the car-- almost the entire time.
