They found the spot


Ashley hiding inside the rocks. David and my brother Jim. Two big goof balls. Can you tell the water is freezing cold.

Jim, Alyssa and Ashley. The girls look like they are cold.

On their way to Doughnut Falls

David is checking to see if Ashley is going to catch up or take her sweet time.
Ashley getting into the falls.
Shayne is thinking about getting in. I am told he decided not to get in. (Smart guy. The water is freezing cold!!)

Hiking Doughnut Falls, Utah July 2008

David, Shayne and Jim
David telling everyone which direction to go. (Which is kind of scary as he has no idea where he is).

Dogwood at Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah. Shayne loved this part of our trip. He loves to rock climb with his Uncle Jim.

Shayne on his way up again. He made five climbs that day.
He he is again kicking off the rocks.
Here we are in flight. He absolutely loves to do this.
Going up again.

Almost to the top of his last climb with his Uncle Jim and cousin Jimmie at top coaching him on and giving his pointers and guiding him.

Climbing Dogwood July 2008

Shayne reached the top.
On his way down.
Taking flight. He loves to kick off the rock and bound (as they call it). He loves the feeling of flying in the air. He is a monkey.
Almost down.
Taking a long reach for the next hand hold.

Rock climbing

Shayne getting ready. Jim and Ashley hiding behind the tree
