Summer Love and Adventure!

Summer started off with a bang this year! Fire season started a bit early for Levi, but that is always a blessing for us. We've seen him a day and half in 40 days. When he is not gone, we are enjoying our new love for Kayaking. Tristan as well enjoy's the adventure and sightseeing. We are really loving the outdoors as T gets older. He is interested in everything he see's, carries his own pack, and is learning to respect nature. We hiked the Ski Bowl area on Hood, the Gorge, Prineville, many local trails.

Mountain biking is another passion of ours and now that Tristan does not have training wheels he thinks he gets to come along. Unfortunatly his idea of mountain biking is riding through the grass.

This summer I also began my studies to receive my Personal Trainer certification through NCCPT and am excited to get started working as soon as possible. I will not be working in a gym but rather looking forward to encompassing workout's that are outdoor, occassionally in a studio, or at home. Which leads me to tell everyone how excited I was to run a race with my sister Alicia in June!! It was our first event together and I hope we'll do many more together. The event proceed's benefited the Wildland Firefighter Foundations. The picture below is the trailhead we climbed 1 mile into the run. It was a warm and fantastic run, the event together raised $5,000.

I hope everyone is enjoying summer as much as our family!
