Fresh Air in Utah

As you can imagine, I was in pretty low spirits after my family left...
But luckily we made a trip to Utah shortly after their departure!

We were there on our first "business trip"...more on that later!!
But we seemed to find a little time for some fun:)
You know us.

My brother Alex and his wife Morgan
just got back from a summer exploring ASIA!
We've missed them, we LOVE hanging w/ them and
it was so much fun hearing about their crazy travels.
You should check out their awesome blog http://loversintheskywithdiamonds.blogspot.com/
They're major adventurers,
and they were kind enough to take us rock climbing!!

Isn't Provo Canyon beautiful? We've missed the mountains.

Yes this did freak me out. It was high, ok!? But I did it, and it was really fun.
Shane totally owned it. As usual.
Alex and Morgan are both fearless and have major rock climbing skills.

Then we did some slack lining...
(essentially tight-rope walking for hippie kids, more fun than you'd think!)
We happened to set up next to a birthday party,
and we ended up being the free entertainment :)

Next we went on a hike in Pleasant Grove with Shane's family!
It was a beautiful day with beautiful scenery.

Our cute little nephews Owen and Gavin.
Their mom's blog http://mccfamoffive.blogspot.com/ is super cute.

Thanks to the Harris family for a fun evening!

A sucsessfully fun trip.
