And So It Begins.........Again......
Another summer is creeping in on us in South East Idaho. The most notable change is the opening of the park. We missed our April trip this year because we HAD to go spend a week in Disneyland in 70 degrees and sunshine. Our Mother's Day trip was a big hit, though! We spent the weekend showing the Worley's most of our favorites, including a few grizzlies. They were great company and we love to share the park with others!
Here is to a great summer!!!!

Paintbrush Divide
Michelle and I hiked Paintbrush Divide this weekend. We had planned on doing the 20 miles in 3 days, but we ended up wrapping it up in 2. This was Michelle's first backpacking experience. Judging by the amount of time she spent looking through her viewfinder on her camera, I would say she loved the trip! Here are the highlights:
The first night right below Holly Lake. That is Leigh Lake and Jackson Lake in the background. |
The next Iron Chef? |

"Brady. Can we please go on an anniversary trip that does not require bear spray, ice axes, and digging holes to go to the bathroom?" |
The high point |
Descending 4000 feet in 8 miles was beautiful, but rough. |
We have never enjoyed the Jenny Lake shuttle boat so much!! |

The Summer So Far
It has been a while since I have shared anything. The summer is zooming by as usual. We have had a ton of fun adventures to share. Here are just a few:
Fishing the Box Canyon is a family favorite. |
Andie likes the Box Canyon. We watched an Osprey defend her nest against a Bald Eagle on this trip. |
This is Katelyn identifying animal tracks with Mom on the Cascade Lake trail. |
The road less traveled. |

Fishing at Cave Falls. The fishing was great, despite the insane mosquitoes. Andie, Fish. Fish, Andie. |
I love this picture. |
This is Kellie's first fish that she ever caught. It was on a fly rod with a #12 Royal PMX. |

Andie's first float trip
We took the girls on a float trip on Saturday. Andie loved it! She just laid back and took it all in!

I can't think of a better way to spend my birthday.
The girls and I spent Friday and Saturday skiing with Grandpa Johnston. Grandma, Grandpa, and Alacia took us all out for a birthday dinner Saturday night. It was a great way to spend my birthday! I am so blessed to have such a great wife, kids, and in-laws. I give them a lot of grief (it's just my nature), but I love them.

Kelly Canyon Ski Hut
I thought it would be fun to take my older 2 girls, a couple of senior citizens, and all of the gear and haul it all up the hill for a night of camping at the ski hut at Kelly Canyon. I felt like a bit of a pack mule, but it was a great time for my kids to bond with Grandma and Grandpa. It was also nice for Michelle and Andie to get some one on one time.
Katelyn poised and ready in her cockpit. See the sled in the back ground? It got strapped to the back of the kid's sled. I looked like a train. |
Working our way up the hill. |
Kellie rockin' the flats. |
Home sweet home for the evening. |
Hot dogs and fruit dip anyone? |

We woke up to and skied home in a blizzard. Thank heavens for chemical hand warmers. |
Lifesaver. |
