Matt and Colleen: July 2009

Hey everyone. We had a pretty productive 4th of July. At least during the day anyways. We went up to a spot called Mores Mtn. in the afternoon with some friends to go rock climbing. Well, let me correct myself, they were going rock climbing while Colleen and I and our friends wife Kelli watched. I was going to try it, but I wussed out. It looked a little too hardcore for me considering the last time I climbed was with Jeremy at the cliffs by the ranch over 10 years ago. It was a lot of fun though, and a gorgeous view. This just above Bogus Basin, which is where Colleen and I had been for a hike the week before and posted some pictures from that. After this we went over to Mike and Lindseys house and had a bbq, with the best damn burgers I think I've ever had. We lit off some legal fireworks and then after a few more beers decided it was time to get out the bottle rockets. Apparently the Boise Police were issuing $500 fines for illegal fireworks, so we were uhhh.....very careful about lighting them off. At one point we had two bike cops ride past their house right after we had lit some off and they didn't stop, so we didn't stop either. No pictures from that, but we did get some hilarious video of our friend Brandon falling on his aqq while trying to run away from a bottle rocket that flew into the grass next to him. Maybe I'll see if I can get that from Mike and post on here. It was great. Anyways, hope everyone had a nice 4th.

This is our friend Brandon climbing. It looks a little more hardcore than it really is due the angle that Colleen took the photo, but it was still pretty flipping hardcore.
