Me, Chris and Ben at Malan's Peak
A panorama of the Ogden Area from Malan's Peak
The hike was about 5 miles round trip and the elevation climb was about 2400 ft. It was quite fun and was the first time I had seriously hit the trails since Cooper was born. If I keep this up, perhaps I will have the stamina to climb Mt. Ogden. I'm going to shoot for early October for that one.

Other than the hike, we had impressive amounts of rain, as illustrated by the video of Cooper feeling the raindrops.
This was also the weekend of the great Hill Air Force Base airshow. This year the Thunderbirds were in attendance. This is enjoyable for us because we live relatively close to Hill and we get to see most of the airplanes flying around. I always enjoyed going to the airshows with my dad in Idaho, so when Cooper is old enough, we will probably take an adventure to an airshow.
We were able to enjoy most of the show from the comfort of our back yard. I originally wanted to watch the performance with Cooper, because I thought he would get a kick out of it...but of course he was sleeping so I tested out my skills with the telephoto lens. I captured a couple of cool photos.
Cooper also had a great time playing with some new toys, a keyboard and his toy box. He is really becoming fascinated with just about everything he sees. This has been very enjoyable to watch, but watch out, I fear that a mobile Cooper will keep us on our toes!
