Austin, Ben, Jen, and Uncle Brett went camping to Snow Canyon. Though pretty windy the last day, which made breaking camp extra fun, the trip was a blast. Austin loved the outdoors - especially the big tree in the campsite, playing with Uncle Brett, Daddy's big fires, and cuddling with Mommy in the early morning hours. Oh, and let's not forget the daily stroller naps in the shade. Snow Canyon rocks!
This was Austin's first experience eating some cantaloupe out of the meshy gadget thingy that you can get at Target (thanks Nikki for the suggestion!).
Well, the condo was up for sale a total of three weeks when we got our offer. Ben put a fair amount of work into Austin's bedroom and he was a little sorry to see it go, but if it means a house with less stairs, he'll get over it! Ben will just have to do another room for the next rugrat (no, there's no pending news, but sooner or later...).
In August, Austin and Jen came for the grand tour of Ben's new school - Eastmont Middle. Of course, Austin got the biggest kick out of the biggest noisemaker in the school: the piano. But then again, maybe he has a little musical talent (though not inherited from his parents).
