Fun in the Sun!

Hello everyone!! Here's the latest update for our lives. This last week we had a lot of fun. We both had Saturday off, which doesn't happen very often. So we invited our nephews for a hike to Timpanogas cave. Tyler has been hiking it almost every day, usually with a 45 lb. backpack on! The only way I agreed to go along was if we had our nephews hike it with us and go inside. So we had Wayne, Teresa, Daniel, Ben, Matt, Michelle, James, and even Scott come along! We were surprised at how well the boys did at keeping up. Ben was sure good at setting the pace for all of us too! He was so excited to get to the top. Of course, we had our fair share of carrying them up the trail too. Tyler didn't bring his 45 lb. pack because he figured he'd probably be carrying them up the hill a lot. And he was right! The cave was a lot of fun once we got to the top. I couldn't believe how cool it was inside. I was glad I brought my jacket. Daniel sure was a riot inside. He told us all about stalagmites and stalagtites. He even told us a joke! I couldn't believe how narrow and low some of the tunnels were. I don't think Timp caves are for everyone. After that we ran home and got ready for our next fun event! Tyler is a sweetheart and he knows how much I love the Beatles! So he got us tickets to this activity in the American Fork Park. It's their Steel Days this week and to end the week they had a Beatles tribute band play and then fireworks. How can you pass that up? We got ribs and shuttled over to the park. It was a lot of fun. They played all of the early stuff and they even got us to get up and twist and shout at the end! Tyler sang along and got up and danced with me. He is so much fun. And of course, when the fireworks went off he couldn't keep quiet. He has to BOOM along with loudest of them. He just loves his fireworks. It was a great end to a fun day. Don't worry, there will be more to come. We have the Spanish Fork Rodeo in 2 days, and the Steve Miller Band next week. And this summer is far from over! I've still got South Dakota up ahead, and we're heading to Alaska in September! I'll update you all soon! Love Taryn and Tyler

That really was a lot of fun. Thanks for inviting us to come along. I'm glad you had such a good time at the Beatles concert.
