Life in San Diego...

Mike took the boys on a hike that he went on when he was a kid growing up here in San Diego. The boys were looking forward to checking out where their dad hiked when he was a boy. They came home with some pretty nice snapshots.

Broadbent Family Reunion July 2009

We camped right in Bryce Canyon this year. It was an amazing place to be. Lots of beautiful scenery and great company! We're so glad we were able to attend this year!

Here's a few pictures from our family hike. It was steep going down. The scenery was amazing.

Here's where those with the young kids split off from the those going on the longer hike. Aubrey and I making our way back. Alysson saved the day with a kidpack. I don't know if I would have made it back up otherwise.

Check out these braids that Susan did in Aubrey's hair! Susan is Mike's counsin's wife...the one I ran the 8k with on July 4th.

Snug as a bug #2. We have since done away with the binkie. Aubrey accepted the fact that they broke and has stopped asking for them. I thought we were going to have a much harder time.

I loved the way the sky looks in this picture. So cool.
