Sorry I haven't posted for so long





There are many reasons for this, and let me name some, I feel like I need an excuse.
1. I couldn't log in, and it was driving me crazy until today, when I realized I have been trying to use the wrong password.
2. Been really busy, school started at the beginning of September, and early morning seminary started too. That means I have to wake up at 5:35 every weekday morning.
I have encluded some random pics from our summer and fall, enjoy!
The first four are of a bike trip that the scouts did. Elias was the only one who did the entire 250 miles, the others chickened out on the second day. I joined up and rode 150 miles to keep Elias company because the only other guys there were dad and his scout leaders. The pics are of one morning in camp, and then a candid moment when I woke up, and dad and Elias were sleeping the exact same way.

Grand Canyon





And... here are pictures of us and the beautiful view at Grand Canyon

Angels landing






Here are pictures of our hike up Angels Landing in Zion National Park, It was only 5 miles round trip but the last .5 mile was crazy dangerous. On one side of the ridge there is a 1200 ft. drop, on the other a 800 ft. drop I would probably be safe to say that Atticus was the youngest person ever to go up.

the vacation




Well here are some pics from our vacation in Utah, enjoy!
P.S. the tower is what you jump off of to go ziplining
P.P.S. the story behind the picture of me w/ crazy hair is that I was
so hot I pored water from the river repeatedly on my head

Rock Climbing




This was awhile ago, but I wanted to write about it anyway. I did some pretty hard walls, but I kinda cheated cause I didn't follow any tapes. It was really fun, and my grandpa climbed a wall too. It was awesome!
The one of just the wall, is one I did, but we didn't get a picture of me actually climbing. There are more pics of this event on Elias's camera, so as soon as he finds it I will put some more up.
P.S. Does anybody know why the Morgansbydesign label at the top of my blog is all screwed up?

World War 2







My Grandpa fought in World War 2, and he let us try on all his gear. I have come to the conclusion that not only is he a brave man, he is very strong too, because that stuff weighs a lot!!!!!!!! Here are some pictures of us all dressed up.
He wrote a book too, about his adventures in the war. It is called Lesser Hero's, for anybody interested.
