Saturday July 1
Mini family service day in our backyard.
It started because Tyler & Kris wanted to hang out and we told them we had a lot of yard work to do. They said they'd come help so we could play faster.  My dad and Austin also came to help.

Ragnar was supervisor.  She inspected all the sticks and branches as they were cut down.

Austin was king of climbing the trees.  We created a new verb: "Mowgli-ing it"

So much more got done than what we were hoping for! We now just have to finish hauling it all off.

Afterwards.. we went to do an escape room, then pretzels, swimming, and then movie with fried pickles at their house.  

Happy Canada everyone!

Wednesday July 5
Took the Nelson girls to the Ogden Nature Center for a patriotic Wild Wednesday.

 This guy did NOT disappoint! He's an amazing story teller and was so interactive.  I do enjoy the lady but I think this guy is my favorite!

 I just love the different looks an eagle can give.

Hung up some stuff.. which has lead to some passive-aggressive staring from Ragnar.

 Read-a-ton book win!

Elise helped me and my dad take the doggies to the river.
She walked Ragnar, who was really good and didn't pull just walked slow next to Elise.

Derek was too busy to notice this...

Derek went backpacking to finish off the last part of the anti-dog mountains in SLC.
Ragnar was not pleased.

 But I made it up to her when we went to pick Derek up.
We left early so we could hike around and lucky dog found many animals to chase and be happy again.

 But not enough cuteness could get Derek to share his fries.

And this goofy-ness.
