Day trip to the Uintah's




Before my brother Michael left to move to Chicago, our family decided to take a day trip to the Uintah Mountains. We drove to Mirror Lake, had a picnic and walked around the lake. It was great weather and Amos had so much fun in the water. He tried so hard to get his frisbee from the water and it was funny to watch him stumble in the water from all the rocks underneath. I finally had to go out and get it for him. After Mirror Lake we stopped at Provo River Falls for awhile before heading home.

Wild Cow Milking Contest - Strawberry Days

So my brother, Mike, participated in the Wild Cow Milking Contest this past week at the Strawberry Days in PG with some friends from work. Now, Michael is a pretty boy who has never milked any animal his life! Luckily we grew up with horses so that gave him some experience with large animals. Mix that with his passion for adventure and challenge and you've got a city slicker cowboy! Mike was in charge of actually milking the cow and if succesful, run it up to the judges. They were able to pull it off Thursday and made it to the finals on Saturday which they won first place!! He got the largest gold buckle I've ever seen :) Way to go Mike! Here's a link to their first win on Thursday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37VOIZ7VQOE
