The End of Summer 2023

It's been a busy and rewarding summer full of excitement. One of the big highlights was the backpacking adventure Sarah and I went on last month. We went up into the High Uintas Wilderness for 3 days. It was a tough challenge. There were bugs and some rough hiking terrain but we conquered it! Our meals were great and the location was gorgeous.     
 
You can watch our 30-minute self-filmed backpacking experience in the fashion of Alone. It was fun to make together for the kids and features some music Sarah and I created together too.

The kids and grown-ups :-) were excited for school to start. We have a 5th grader, a 2nd grader and a kindergartener. The kids are all loving their teachers. Paul is doing all-day kindergarten which is great because everyone is on the same schedule and Sarah doesn't have to walk to the school 3 times a day.
Paul also started soccer. He's on team Turquoise. The team was desperate for a coach so I became the coach. I don't know what I'm doing but Paul seems to have a good time. He gets very excited on the field. I also got to take him bowling recently which was very entertaining!
We did our annual campfire with the kids in Mill Creek canyon where we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. Sarah and I went for another hike to the top of Mount Aire. We also took the kids on a hike to the Timpanogos Cave(s) with Sarah's family. We've enjoyed great weather. We prepared some freezer corn and are starting to work on pear canning. So we've been busy and have done all the things. Right now we're hoping to settle into a more stable routine for the Fall.
