Hunter & His Friends

News Anchor

On a recent day out of school, Hunter was invited to visit the Channel 8 news studio.  While there he was given a tour, watched a commerical shoot & was even able to try out the news anchor desk.  I think he looks pretty good in that chair.  Could this be the start of a career?

Sunbathing

Taking a break from the sun.

Just trying to stay cool.

This is how Khloee beats the 105 degree weather.

Huntington Beach

At the beginning of August, Hunter had never been to the beach before, by the time Labor Day came around, he had been twice.  Jeff, Khara, Paydon, Gavin and Hunter headed for the beach for a quick Labor Day vaca.  Hunter had a great time and the weather was beautiful so it was a good day to be at the beach...even though Paydon and Hunter think they saw a shark.  Really boys...a shark?

How did Khara get these two up & on the road before 6:00a?

Who told these two they could grow up??

Warm water and nice waves

Watching the girls go by

San Diego Trip

Hunter had never been to the beach so the weekend before he went back to school we went to San Diego so he could finally say he has been in the ocean.  Even though it was a bit of a cloudy day, he seemed to have a good time.  I think in his mind when he thought of the beach he automatically thought of warm water...definitely not the case on this trip. 



This water is so cold

Run faster there is another wave coming

While we were there we checked out the Air and Space Museum as well as toured the USS Midday.  The USS Midday has a lot of planes on it and they allow you to board one as if you were going to be flying it.  Hunter flew in a flight similator at the museum and after watching him fly, I don't think I will be flying with him anytime soon.  He flew into the water upside down several times as well as into a bridge.  Yikes!!

Since the San Diego temple is my favorite, we had to drive to La Jolla to see it.  Have you seen a building more beautiful than the San Diego temple?  I don't think so.

 

Zip-Line

Hunter and I want to go on the zip-line in Boulder City but since it is more than a mile long and goes as fast as 50 mph we thought we better practice on a smaller one so we went to Freemont Street and zip-lined from one side to the other.  It was only 30 seconds and only went up to 30 mph but it was still fun.  We are ready for the big one now.

Just hangin' around

Trip to Brian Head

A few months ago, Hunter went Snowboarding with the Scouts and he really likes it so two weeks ago, we went snowboarding at Brian Head.  After living in Vegas for 10 years, I found -2 to be a little too cold for me but fortunately for us it warmed up to 37 the next day and was a perfect day on the slopes. I was really surprised at how good he was for only having gone once before.

Off to the ski lift w/his board

 The ski lift is fun until the chairs stop

I hope he knows how to stop.

Time for Braces

Instead of going out-of-town or somewhere super fun for the President's Day holiday, we went to the orthodontist for Hunter's braces.  Doesn't he look like he had a lot of fun??? He chose blue and white elastics to show support of his favorite team, the Indianapolis Colts.



Start with the molds

My what a big mouth he has

All Finished

He will really be smiling 18 months from now when they come off.

Feeding Charlie...

If you drive through Red Rock Canyon at dusk you will find wild burros walking around.  You aren't allowed to feed them from the side of the road but if you go into Blue Diamond, you will find them walking through the town.  Lately, Hunter likes to go feed them apples on Saturday and Sunday evenings.  He likes one of them more than the others because it doesn't try to bite him when he is feeding them.  Hunter calls him Charlie.
