And you wait for it...

OK, let it go!

Melon Hikes Parker Bradford Memorial

Original plan was to hike to Timp Summit.  Because of snow an alternate trail wound to Arrowhead Peak, to Stewart Falls, and back to Sundance.  Melon, Allison, and Melissa.

Melon Moto & Mortuary

We finally found the best first bike for Canyon!  A Honda Nighthawk!  He took to it like fish to water.  So, for all of you out there -- start seeing bikes!  Canyon may be on one.

Had a mini reunion with Uncle's Steve and David Dalton at the funeral of Larry Johnson -- their cousin, son of LaRell Johnson, Grandma Dalton's younger brother. Larry was Steve's age 66.

Melon Bucket (list)

So, Hayley turned 22 today.  She's going on a mission -- because no boy will have her?  Who wouldn't want this sultry dame?  Of course, she was only 17 here.  Happy birthday Hay.  You're inspiring many people this summer to have a bucket list.  Mine to follow.

This is Shauna, unpredictable, planner of family get togethers (like the 4th weekend), good mother, better grandmother, maternal anarchist, librarianist, no bucket list?

OK, I've seen a lot of "bucket lists" on blogs so maybe I'll get mine out there, in numerical order:

1. buy KTM 990 Adventure

Yahoo!

Father Melon

Here's a picture of me mindlessly enjoying Father's Day -- special greeting card (wife), downing yummy chicken enchiladas and rice crispy treats (Hanyon), with the added encouragement and humoring from Luke/Hayley, and in my new grey sporty shirt (Clint/Cassie).

Antelope Island Cuties.  Hayley is busy checking off her bucket list.  Can you believe that on that list was camping on Antelope Island with Bison, mosquitoes, and biting gnats?  Also swimming in the Great Salt Lake with Brine Shrimp?

Max, Mavericks & Melon

Eight days of Cole and Max!  What do you hear about being a grandparent?  It's great, spoil them and send them home!  But, what if you can't send them home?  Luke and Ashlie spent a week boating in the Caribbean.  Shauna must be completely worn out (she doesn't know it yet).  But, it provided plenty of moments for me to play with Cole.

Mavericks Win!
