The Ranch

Just thought I would post a few pics of our August trip to Utah. It was a blast to be with Grandma & Grandpa Stewart - lots of games, food, and hikes.
Grandma & Grandpa bought Parker & Tyler their "ranch boots," which are a standard at the Stewart family ranch house. The boys looked so cute in their boots, especially Tyler, who has only ever known sandals on his feet and took a day or two before he was running everywhere in them. Parker was a bit more timid of hiking around in the tall, sometimes spikey grasses, but by the end of the nine days he was leading the pack.
The boys also loved riding everywhere in the wheelbarrow.
While there, we got to see my brother Matt & his family (sadly, the pictures were all out of focus), and also Great Grandpa & Grandma Hovik. It was great to see them all, even if it was just for a short time.
Peter got his yearly stress relief by chopping tons of wood, while I finished book two of Harry Potter.
We also took a day trip up to see Mirror Lake, which was breathtaking. I didn't know such a beautiful thing existed in Utah.
Thanks, John & Debra, for the great time!
