Kaia continues to amaze me. At bedtime now, she reads the stories and only lets me read the last one. Here she was today reading me stories. I just love her sweet voice.

Wonderful Wyoming
It's no secret that we love Wyoming. We were able to spend another wonderful weekend at the cabin. We attempted a hike along Boulder Creek, but were driven away by mosquitoes. They were terrible in the trees and along the water. Surprisingly though, they weren't bad at all at the cabin. It made working on the fence more enjoyable, even though it was still very hard work.
This is Boulder Creek.
This is a flower I saw along the trail. I'm not sure what it is. Mel, I was hoping you could help me with that.
Another question, do male butterflies die after mating? I think that's what happened to this guy. The female laid eggs and took off, but the male just died. Hmm...
Kaia and I spent most of our time around the cabin playing, stoking the fire in the hot tub, cleaning up, etc. Here she is in various moments of discovery.
She LOVED the tractor. Here she is giving Paul and Mike instructions before they went down to work on the fence.

Colin preferred to take the bike down.
Here everyone is down working on the fence. 40 acres is a lot of land. When it's lined with a fence you can really see the distance.
Kaia and I walked down to join everyone. This is the view looking back at the cabin.
Workin' the fence line: Kaia, Colin, Paul, Mike, and Jenny.

And with grandma on the tractor.
Happy dogs: Haus and Otis

Birt's 40th
For Birt's 40th we went to the Uintas. Talk about a good time. Kim and Eric found an awesome place to camp right at Sheep Creek Lake. Jeff and Christina put together an amazing contest/competition for Saturday. The feast Saturday night was outstanding. Props to all the chefs. But seriously Chuck. Best brisket ever! Thank you Salt Lake friend family for being who you are. Happy Birthday Birt!
Kaia and Ruby had a great time.
And so did we! The games were awesome! Way to go Jeff and Christina. There were eight games to participate in with varying points. Some points were earned with a partner and some were earned individually. Here is a sampling.
Classic cornhole and horseshoes were two events.
Ruby, Amie, and Amanda
Flip cup followed by a three-legged race were two more.
Paul, Amanda, Dan, Birt, Zak, Julie, and Amie.
Birt takes one for the team while Zak, Christina, Julie, and Todd look on.
Erik and Connor dominated the foot race. This was just practice though.
Knife throwing and bb shooting were individual events.
Zak and Birt were a powerful team.
Dan
Michelle
Tug-o-war was partner versus partner.
The final event was a canoe race. Sorry, no pictures of that. It was Dan and I against Paul and Christy. Paul cheated of course, but still won. Darn! Dan and I were undefeated until then! It didn't seem to matter though because my awesome partner Dan won the competition! Way to go Dan! Fun was had by all and we all look forward to Chuck's 40th so we can do it again!
Todd and Paul
Paul's new beer holder, Michelle.
Kaia loved the chocolate pudding. She had actually fallen asleep and was eating the pudding with her eyes closed and just kept opening her mouth, but then decided to wake up and really enjoy it!
