The End of Summer: Part 2

Last week we barbecued in City Creek Canyon for dinner. Matt made a fantastic dinner. Stake, salad, and scout bread with jam. After dinner, a round of Scrabble by campfire light.

Thanks for the great evening Matt! :)

The End of Summer: Part 1

My brother Alan and his wife Maren invited us over to their backyard to have a wiener roast. Their yard is so fantastic. Lots of flowering vines with hummingbirds all around, fruit trees, a fireplace, and a swing. Matt and I had a great time with them.

Matt and I enjoying the swing while trying to avoid small, moving objects

Isn't that fireplace lovely? On the table are fixins' for Chicago-style hot dogs

Our charming hostess, Maren.

Little Ivan, who bolsters my hopes of having a red-headed child, and Princess Katherine, who carried her marshmallow scepter the whole evening. Both cute to the max *pinching cheeks!*
