Graham cousin party
Hogle Zoo. HOT!
Naomi and Maddie stressing me out on the roof. Naomi thinks she's eighteen.

Fishing in Kamas. The boys got their own pocket knives in Jackson Hole and were sooo excited to cut off their own fishes head and pull out their guts.

Will wanted to show his manliness by making me take a picture of the fish blood on his hands and knife
