Here's a new place Owen can fall asleep...

...at the Red Bull Air Races in San Diego.

Swimmng lessons

Owen continues to go to swimming lessons. This summer, the lessons are held in an outdoor pool in some generous person's back yard. Here's Owen yesterday at lessons:

Owen goes to SD

Owen took a trip to SD to visit the grandparents so Kelly and I could go on a business trip (aka motorcycle trip to Yellowstone). Eye witness accounts suggest he had a great time. Pictures seem to confirm that.

Driving - a new favorite pastime

Playing in the shop - getting dirty

Sunday on the John Deere

I'm hoping my lawn mowing duties will end this summer, but some have said Owen will need to be a little older to actually take over. Here's a couple pictures from my first training session with him.

Saturday in Moab

On Saturday, Scott and RaNae flew us down to Moab for a day of jeeping, with a little car show thrown in. We left Bountiful about 9am and were jeeping by 10:30. Here's the jeep:



After seeing Blond Dog and Zelda at the car show, we drove up to Hurrah Pass, which is where this shot was taken:



Then we headed over to the other side of the river and took the Potash Road over to Shafer trail and up to Dead Horse Point. The road was good, but steep and narrow:




It led to over looks like this:



Bouncing around in a Jeep all day, but still smiling. What a trooper.




Thanks to Auntie 'Nae and Uncle Scott for the pictures, but especially for the flight down and awesome, awesome day.

Owen discovers Gelato

One of our favorite things about Italy was the availability of gelato on every corner. Owen learned to like it very quickly. If he saw somebody walking down the street with a cone, he'd start grunting and letting us know he was ready for more gelato...hey, we couldn't disappoint the kid, right?
