Pine Creek Canyoneering




We went rapelling and hiking in Pine Creek slot canyon. You start at the Zion's Tunnel and rapel down about four times and then hike out. Each time you come to freezing cold ponds that you land in and swim out. It is very cold. The water in some of them was pretty stinky as well. We went with several of Dawson's friends and Aaron our cousin. It was a good and strenuous day.

Flake Family Reunion in Tennessee

Grandma and Grandpa Flake

Thanks for an awesome time at the reunion. We had a good trip back home and even made it to another wards sacrament meeting at 2:30 pm. A huge thank you to Julie’s family who worked so hard to make it such a wonderful experience. Julie, you have a very supportive husband and your kids are the best. I didn’t hear any complaints from any of them. J It was so wonderful to have Grandma and Grandpa feeling better and attending the events. We kept them up so late, but they just kept going. Thanks for all of the fun times, great Rook games, good food, and a special thanks to James for the Road Kill! We will never forget the 4th of July fireworks show in Cumberland Furnace and Miss Viola singing our Star Sprangled Banner where the flag was right there! We are sure proud of all of our great cousins and your awesome basketball, football, and soft ball skills and not to mention your Easy Bake Oven skills. Thanks for including the old guys and the youngins. It was great to have Lesa and Desi join us as well as Brittany with Jeremy, Steve with Danielle and Tammy with James and to welcome back Darrell and Jordan. You all rock! Check out the attached pictures of the folks who started it all and click on the link below to access Danielle and our pictures from the trip.
