Anniversary Adventure




For our anniversary this year we decided to do something a little more adventurous. We took a two and a half day hike up Palasaides Creek though Waterfall Canyon and out Little Elk Creek. It was right around 18 miles and we were out by 10:00 on the third day. It was quite the hike. We camped at the top of the upper lake the first night

and in the bowl at the bottom of Sheep peak the second night.
We saw an unfriendly moose and a snake.
This is Josh in some pretty country below the bridge the upper lake and just past the cabin. It says it's a mile and 2 tenths from the cabin to the upper lake but I don't belive it.

We also saw some wolves (interesting huh). Enjoy the pictures. It really was a lot of fun, and something different. We did get rained on the first day, and hiked through the snow the second day, so I'm really glad I had two pairs of shoes.


This is me in front of the biggest waterfall of the two in waterfall canyon. It was about the 19th of June when we were there and spring was just barely coming to that valley.

Josh at the top aprox. 9 thousand feet.


Me at the top of a pretty scary climb. Josh was kicking steps and we climbed up stuff steep enough that you could reach out your arm while in a standing position and touch the mountain in front of you.

Birthday Season

In our house we have a season of birthdays. There are 3 within a 2 week period. So here are the birthday cake pictures, except for mine which we forgot to take a picture of, don't worry you're not missing much.




Wyatt had a lot of fun. He is going through a Thomas the Train phase. Josh has always loved boats so I printed off a picture of a schooner off the computer and copied it free-hand on to the cake.



Here is a video, he still has a little trouble blowing out the candles. All those in the video who don't want to be, I apologize.

Josh's Mom does a combined birthday party for Wyatt, Josh and I. I don't have any pictures of the cake it was pretty interesting. Here is a picture of the balloons the next day. Ella was in balloon heaven.
