Rock Hound

One of Avyrlie's current interests is rocks and minerals. Today's pacification of the obsession was a trip to the Temple Quarry at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon. As per her normal routine, rock hounding was only one of the attractions of the trip.

Other activities included:

Shoe tying


Location Scouting


Log Dancing


Catching Insane Air (Ian would be jealous)


Napping


Chilling with Dad. Obviously the best part :)

Alaska Hunt

Aaron (not me, the other Aaron) sent out this email and pics from his hunting trip in Alaska:

I just wanted to share some pictures from my Alaska Trip.

A special thanks to my wife, Evan & Amber Raber, and the Froehle Family who made this trip possible.

I spent some time in Nome, AK and some surrounding native villages. It was an amazing experience I will remember it the rest of my life. This caribou is part of the Western Arctic Caribou Herd which is approximately 490,000 strong.

Thanks

Aaron

Screaming Good Fishing Trip

Aaron invited us up to go fishing with him last Saturday. Not a lot of bites, in fact Ian had the only catch early on. After that is was a test of patience on all levels ;)

Family at the Zoo

(click the pix for the full gallery)

It seems we don't get to use our zoo passes often enough so when Aaron and Brooke called to let us know they were headed to the zoo, we jumped at the chance. Our passes let us take 2 guests along for free and Hayden is still free as well. Leah also came along because who can say no to an afternoon with monkeys and Aimee?

Sutliffs in Arizona
