Family time with my sister

Valerie's family isn't in the following three photographs, but they were at my house!

We went to Timpanogos Cave and LOVED IT. We try to go there once a year because it is so fun to hike up. It's a 3.5 mile hike up and back. The cave is so neat, you can't possibly capture its mystery in photographs. I raided Valerie and Parkers memory cards and got the following photos of our trip to the cave. For acurate details on the cave, click on the link above.

I believe this is the "heart" of the cave. It is actually huge, you can't tell in this picture.

Stalagtites and stalagmites, I never know which is which.

Madison was getting into all this geology stuff.

Parker, Madison, and Morgan

Brendan, Brinley, and Thomas

me and my sis

The cave is 42 degrees inside and when we came out if felt so good. It felt good to go inside to after that mile and a half hike up the mountain. It was awesome!

Next day: Seven Peaks water park

We spent the day at Seven Peaks, along with the rest of Utah county.

The cousins had a blast and not one person got sunburned even though it was 100 outside.

Time to say goodbye

We wanted some last minute pictures before everyone left

Whenever I see pictures of me and my siblings I get a kick out of the way our cheeks all look the same , I guess it's our Thompson genes shining through.

What a beautiful family! Notice the little doggie in the rocks. Valerie couldn't resist getting this little puppy for the boys when the neighbors dog had a litter. Tippy fits right in with the family and the boys do a great job taking care of him.

Thomas and Uncle Sean

Cookie just days before the puppies were born and her new pal, Tippy. Tippy is half weenie dog and half Maltese, a winning combination as you can see!

Our boys had fun in Vegas together.

Madison captured Brendan making a sassy face in this one.
