Zen is the one in our family who loves to get in the car and go for a scenic drive. So, today, he took us outside of town to visit the Petroglyphs. We drove for about 20 minutes down a dirt road, parked the car at the rest area, then hiked about another 15 minutes up to the base of the wind-and-water-marked rocks to see the petroglyphs carved into the rock face. I wasn't even thinking in terms of exercise points before we got there, but as I was walking, I thought, "Man, this is good exercise!" I should get out of the house more in the summer and go see things.

Will the scales be kind to me in the morning?

Crawling into a little cave with Connor and Emma. I'd love to do some serious hiking some time in the future, maybe Yellowstone. It's great to think I could do that someday, and be in great shape to enjoy the experience.

  1. Great pictures Becky! Thanks for sharing those. That's a great post to put on HWHL too. They would love to see these fun pictures. I'm going to e mail you and Sue and figure out if there is a time next week that we can still get together without the big group. I would still love to meet the both of you.

  2. "Will the scales be kind to me in the morning?" Depends on how much of that Papa Murphy's pizza you ate! :)
