This last week I got to do two of my favorite things in the world! Thanks to Lokalgrown's continued random wedding requests, Annie and I were able to fly down to Utah to do a wedding. We also decided to take the opportunity to spend some time with family in one of our favorite places-- The San Rafael swell in southern central Utah. This means I got to play rock and roll music with my best friends and wander the isolated corners of Utah, all within a few days!! It was fantastic. Annie's little sisters Sydney and Sutton joined us as well as my brother Dan, his wife Angie, my brother Josh and most of his kids. It was classic. Great camping spot, gorgeous weather. We saw too many cars, but somehow (and gratefully so) not too many people. We bounced around on Goblins, slithered through slot canyons, and were almost attacked by rabid coyotes. Oh and my nephew Caleb became a man! Thanks to everyone for a great trip!!

oh my! what an adventure. What a fun mix of people too! because i am not coming home this summer I am starting to get this feeling that iwill never see anyone again. Of course i will, but who knows when. My little family could sure use some outdoor good times. Great pictures!
Hi Annie, I just wanted to tell you that I love your blog!! You have such fun pictures and it has such a cool feel! Your trip looks so great! Thanks so much for keeping me, a quiet lurker, on your list! I hope this finds you well. Please know that someone over here in France (and Ireland) is thinking of you! I'm still sad we never got ourselves together to play lacrosse! How are you enjoying your new house? Are you on facebook. Look for me! xo Natasha
wow, on that bottom picture my arm looks like it is broken or something...this was a great time, and proud that you noted how caleb became a man! he sure seems to think that is the case now.
Man, I haven't be to Goblin Valley for years. We used to go camping there when I was in Young Men's and we would always get a big game of 'steal the flag' going. Good times...
oh, and Caleb wants everybody to know that Dan's cool head gear is really Calebs shirt tied around his head...
This was the trip i missed to come to Itlay. It looks like such a good time. I am a bit jealous...how ever, We are having a great time in Italy. If I could get my pictures to download on becky's computer, I would actually post a few of them. I am curious to know the caleb becoming a man story. We love you all!!! mom
The swell is nothing but good times every time. Do you remember the last time we went and ate too much frog eye salad and got sick. Let us know the next time lokalgrown plays and we will come see you guys.

Looks like so much fun!!! You guys are such a cute couple :)
I am glad you all had a good time! Great pictures! Next time you come to town we should all get together for dinner!
Jake I am happy for your adventure and at the same time am disappointed that i was not able to see you on your trip to southern Utah. I know that you were busy and with family, just wish we had more interaction. any way, sounds like life is good for you and your family. Keep in touch.
