Mead Lake, Anderson Bros, and nature randomness

These are a bunch of pictures that we took on our phones for the past month. They are in semi-chronological order.

The first few pictures are from mead lake on the 4th of july. We went there with Elissa and Travis and Travis' family.

Real First Crawl

Rock climbing and morning star mine

Last weekend we went rock climbing again, then went to morning star mine. It is an old gold mine that got filled with water from a spring. The rock we climbed was even harder than the last one. We only got pictures of Kendra climbing. It was sooooo hot that day. Everyone stayed in the shade as much as possible.

Graham is just about to crawl. He doesn't really crawl much in this video but it is close enough.

Rock Climbing

We went rock climbing last weekend at these big granite rock piles. Our neighbor who has rock climbing gear brought us and taught us how to do it. It was pretty fun and WAY harder than I thought it would be.





This is the rock we climbed. It was really hard because there weren't very many cracks to grab onto. We mostly just used the texture and grooves in the rocks to climb on. We went to the last big crack on the top, right before the top large boulder.

Caleb climbing...it was getting dark by then.
