We went on a little family drive to a place near here called Fantasy Canyon. It's a place that really seems make believe! (If you want to see more cool pictures, and find out more about it, just google fantasy canyon. There's lots of stuff out there.) It's a fun little place to take kids, and it was amazing how many different countries people came from who signed the guest registry! I guess it's more famous than I knew. I hadn't heard of it before Brandon took us there.
When we were leaving we saw these horses.
Update: We found out they really ARE wild horses. Tyler stuck his head out the window and got some pictures (I'm demoted to the back seat now, since Tyler's cast doesn't fit.)
We decided we didn't need to go to Arches now, since we've seen the miniature version.
These formations are amazing! It's so strange how something like this can be in the middle of nowhere.
There's a lot of smooth places like this, and there are "canyons" here and there with the weird castle-like formations.
Can you guess who this one is? Da-da... da-da... (how on earth do you type the music from "Jaws"?)
My kids thought some of these looked like dinosaur bones.
Tyler was a good sport, and really did well navigating on his crutches. He went up hills and everything.
There were some spots that could not be navigated by crutches, so this is how Tyler travelled.
Oh, hello! Here are my lilacs on the table. Sorry for the random picture. Pretty, though, aren't they?
Aubrey took some of these pictures... that's why I'm actually in one! there were rock pathways like this that showed you where to go, and they had little markers (Cooper is looking at one) that told you where rocks that looked like something in particular were. It reminded me of looking at clouds.... trying to figure out what the shapes looked like.
I can't remember what this one was supposed to be, so you all have to figure it out. Let's see who out of all my readers is the most creative! Put your suggestions in the comments, and I'll choose the winner. Sorry, no prizes. Just bragging rights. ;)
We spent most of last week visiting with almost all of Brandon's family. It was so great to see Cassie and Hannah, but I can't stand saying goodbye, knowing they're going far far away again. I just can't understand what North Carolina and Texas have over, say.... here? ;)
I've been at Girls Camp. It was lots of fun, gorgeous weather, beautiful scenery... good times!
Cooper finished up his baseball season. He played catcher a lot of times, and he was SO cute! He was more concerned with clearing out the opponents bats than what was going on in the game, but he did get better! He was probably the biggest charmer on his whole team. I can't tell you how many times I heard people in the stands say how cute he is. We all loved his big smile and signature "thumbs up" after every good thing he did. 
This is Coop running into home after his AWESOME triple hit! That hit got 2 batters into home! It was awesome!
#7 ready to hit...
We interrupt the report of Cooper's baseball season to tell you that TYLER GOT HIS CAST OFF TODAY! This is the last picture of him with the dreadful stinky thing on!
Here's cutie Cooper with his coaches, Farrell and Delmar. Delmar was especially awesome and helpful. Cooper lost his hat, and Delmar (on the right) gave him his hat. (He borrowed one from someone else for the picture.) He was very patient in teaching Cooper how to bat and catch! We really appreciate Coop's coaches! I coached his t-ball team last year, and let me tell you... it's not as much fun as you'd think! ;)
This was one powerful miss! We'll miss going to baseball and softball games, but it will be nice to have a break for awhile too! We'll see you next year, baseball fields! 
Here is my team in the dugout. Most likely cheering. That's just what we do! 
Here is me up to bat. I know, I look good. If you'd like to hear how I improved, ask my dad. It's his favorite thing to show and talk about. :)
Here is me in right field. Nothing to say about it except that's where I played the whole season.
