Other Activities in July

We celebrated Josh and Lucy's birthdays with the Nelsons, we went downtown with the Cowleys, Lia and Laura did "Drop and Shop" for the kids in the neighborhood again, we finished our remodel (Yay!), Megan played with her friend Samara, and unfortunately Megan broke her arm playing at the park with Samara. She was so sad--especially because we were about to leave on our family trip to Lake Tahoe. 

Lone Peak Backpacking Trip

Nate took Lia on a backpacking trip to Lone Peak on a weekend in mid July. They both like to backpack, but this is not a trip for the faint of heart. Nate did it years ago with the young men and remembered as he and Lia got started how hard it is. But, they did it and had a great time together! They camped near the top and then summited in the morning. When they got to the top, Nate was a little nervous, but Lia was not phased at all with the height or steep drop offs. I was so proud of them and also so grateful when they made it back safely. And, I was so thankful for Nate for making it happen.
