Ashlyn enjoying some shade at Hogle Zoo

Alia busy entertaining herself by looking between her legs.

First day of swim lessons for the girls. Surprisingly, Alia liked it a lot more than Ashlyn.

A very excited Alia after lessons. She was so excited to be swimming. She just made sure everyone knew that she did not want to go under the water.

A grumpy Ashlyn that was very glad to be able to finally go see mom.

Ashlyn tromping around Lake Helquist after one of the many crazy monsoon storms.

Alia pitching in to bail us out.

The overgrown Santa Cruz. Normally, it is about 6-8 feet across. Crazy amounts of rain.

A shot showing the bridge to our house. Normally you can see all of the ground below. There must be 15 to 20' of mud, muck, and water flowing under it now.
