Maya and Lydia decided to paint the tree house today. I was very impressed with the results given they worked on the task with no adult supervision. It should be noted that there appears to be as much paint on Maya’s thighs as on the tree house. Earlier in the day I played in my first outdoor soccer match of the season. We won 4-2 and I came away with a well struck goal from the top of the box and an assist and most importantly no injuries. I leave early tomorrow morning for a one week solo adventure into the wild. I will be hiking and camping in Utah and Arizona canyon country. Weather permitting, I would like to spend most of my time in the spectacular slot canyons of the region. I will not be posting for at least a week but when I do I hope to have a bounty of great images to share.
