We did stuff again.

Every once and a while we do stuff. Sometimes we bring a camera with us to the stuff. Yesterday, we did a whole day of stuff and took some pictures of it.

Morning Stuff: Tucson Children's Museum

We got wise and got an annual pass to the Children's Museum. Now we can go somewhere that is fun for Paul and out of the heat, we even figured out where the free parking is!

Paul is a serious chef.

Paul would usually have to fight off a crowd to drive the fire truck.

After that fun (Paul really didn't want to leave) we had lunch with our awesome cousins, the Websters, and we all went up to Mount Lemmon to hike. It has become a favorite haven from summer. Near the peak, the aptly named town of Summerhaven sits at about 8000 ft above sea level, and about 50 degrees below Tucson's temperatures (assuming you go the same days we do.)

Paul pretends he is going to walk the whole way.

We got treated to a really foggy day. Don't see much fog in Tucson!

I pretend to be a good photographer.

Paul kept pointing the binoculars at things and saying "cheese!"

Our little family stares into the foggy abyss.

I thought a hiking photo would look more artsy than this. Oh well.
As we neared the end of our hike, Paul started thinking it was funny to run the wrong direction down the trail. We had to bribe him to come back.

Family Reunion

We had a great family reunion last month. I am going to share some photos and videos from our trip. Hope you enjoy them!

Weston and Cooper Johnston posed with me at Thanksgiving Point.

A whole gaggle of Burnett family at the Rose Garden.

Lee and Paul in the Italian Garden.


Paul and Liam (Sanderson) are kindred spirits. They both love dinosaurs, fruit snacks, and chasing geese.

Here's Lee at the grill, making Sonoran Hot Dogs for everyone!

At This is the Place State Park, we tried to walk on stilts. Contrary to what Garrett says, we were not born to do this. Lee, on the other hand, was basically a champ at it!


Paul just wanted to ride this train. Over and over and over again.
Up at Mirror Lake, we had a great time fishing and kayaking and getting sun burned. Paul is really into throwing rocks in water, so it was right up his alley.

Stella Burnett is so proud of catching a fish!



And now to share Paul's new tricks! I couldn't be prouder of the following two accomplishments:
