Derek's Summer Sports Adventures

Derek's had another great summer in Sports. His baseball team, the Padres, won the City Championship on Friday, ending their season undefeated !! He made a great hit in the top of the 6th inning which earned him the "game ball" so he was pretty excited about that !!

Today Derek took second place in the Provo Freedom Festival Jr. Golf tournament. Now he has a few weeks to rest, football starts in August !!

Yampa River Trip

Last week we spent 5 days rafting the Yampa river in Northern Colorado and Utah. It was a great trip with good weather, good company and good rapids. It was fun having the 4 brothers there along with their "lovely" brides !







Grandpa Chem still going strong at 79 !! The below picture really doesn't do this Class 4 rapid called Warm Springs justice, just take my word for it----it was huge !!


It was weird for us to just have one boy to look out for on this trip, Derek had a great time though and even got a few lessons in rowing from Grandpa and Dad.
