Happy Birthday Daddy
Daddy turned 32 yesterday. For the past several years we have diverged from the childhood tradition of an ice-cream cake for his birthday. A banana cream pie, giant cookie, and the "Lost" numbers cake are some of the ideas he has comes up with. This year was extra fun with a meatloaf cake and mini pies.

New York trip
Here are some photos from our New York trip:
First stop, Salt Lake City to drop off our son with Grandma and Grandpa. I am glad we had a chance to visit with my sister's family while we were there. Then it was off to New York City. It was everything that I expected and more. We went up the Empire State Building to get our bearings and were thankful for the beautiful weather. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. Over my left shoulder you can see one of the five NY Waterfalls (a temporary art project if you can believe it).
The weather was great for the most part. We did a lot of walking. Our hotel was in midtown and we were able to walk to Central Park and to Times Square. We got tickets for David Letterman and were surprised when they changed the special quest from Meg Ryan to Barrack Obama. Security was tight. It was a fun experience sitting up close and seeing David Letterman in person.
We finally got to see Wicked. It was fantastic, expecially the music and the costumes.
Friday we took the ferry to Liberty and Ellis Islands. The rain started while we waited to take the ferry back to Battery Park in lower Manhattan and didn't stop until well after the Met's were supposed to play. The game was rescheduled, so we didn't get to see them play, but we were still able to get the baseball from Shea Stadium for our collection.
We were more successful at Yankee Stadium (though the Yankees were not). They lost to the Devil Rays. One more baseball makes thirteen now.
Earlier on Saturday we met up with my rad brother and his wife. They were back east for several months and were able to drive in to New York for the weekend and get together. We wondered together around China Town and Little Italy before we had to head off for the Yankees game.
We strolled in Central Park while munching on a bagel Sunday morning before catching the Taxi to the airport. It was already uncomfortably muggy at 9 in the morning.
We were so happy to see our son after being away from him for 5 days. He had a great time playing with his grandparents. They love him so much and took wonderful care of him. Don't let the scowl on his face make you think otherwise.

Ward Campout
We were up at Trask again this year, with a bigger tent, a tarp, and an air mattress. Things worked out great. We had a fun time and it was nice to be up in the wilderness and away from the city at last.
Daddy loved taking the boys exploring all around the camp.
We especially enjoyed the Boy Scout Fort with the built in jail.
We are happy to have completed one successful family camping trip and hope that we can have more in the future.
Underwood Family Farms
This was a fun day at the farm. We loved it all and wish that we would have had a little more time to pick some vegetables ourselves. Although, I believe that the tomatoes that I bought at their market were the best I have EVER had. Thanks again to April who drove us there.
The boys were in heaven climbing on all the different trains and mountains.
Krista's daughter Ally joined the boys for a ride around the tracks.
We were glad that they finally got some rest after playing so hard.
