So many places to go

Well it's been awhile since I've up-dated so lets see what we've been up to:

We've been to Zion National Park-I've already posted that.

We went to St. George shopping and to my new foot Dr. and Gary got a speeding ticket :(

While in St. George we picked up a wood splitter for the maintenance department here and Gary bought himself a new storage unit for all the new and old tools he has accumulated.

We went to Fredonia, AZ and paid Gary's ticket (he choose to go to court as the ticket was for 1 mile over the speed limit but still had to pay) and then we went to Hurricane, UT-had lunch and came home by way of the back road thru Zion Park. It took us about 3 hours to drive this sometimes very narrow, paved & dirt, shear drop offs back road. It was a very nice Sunday drive on a Tuesday! This brought us out in Cedar City, UT where we had a great supper at Walt's. We also saw a herd of about 30 bison here in the Grand Canyon Park on our way out that morning.

On Monday 8-4 we left work early to go to Mesa, AZ for Matthews 5th birthday. On the way out of the park we encountered 6 inches of snow!! about 10 miles from the Rim and when we got down to Gap, AZ we hit the same storm, only with rain. We stopped at Black Canyon for the best rib-eye steak dinner and finally got to Kristal's at 10PM just like I told Matthew we would. Sam & Matthew were sleeping but not Elizabeth or Brandon, they were waiting for us! Matthew had his birthday party at Peter Pipers Pizza. It's like Fun Spot and Chucky Cheese. He got lots of great toys (I think the game boy was his favorite) but the best was playing with his friends and driving the cars! Wednesday morning before we left for home Grampa gave Matthew 1 more present-he did the mintos in the soda bottle rocket that Mom gave Matthew. All I have is a video of the actual mintos rocket!

I'm still learning how to take a video!

And for this last weekend (Tues & Wed 8-12 & 8-13) we went to Bryce Canyon National Park. We were not really impressed that much but that could be because of all the "french" speaking crowds that kept surrounding us. Anyways we decided that we did not want to apply for any jobs there and that we would go back later in the year so we could do some hiking into the canyon. Here are a few photos that I took. The 1st 2 photos are of the Hoodoos.

And this one is one of the hiking trails into the Hoodoos. Those little black specks are actually people. (bottom middle of photo)

So maybe now that we have the computer working in the RV (with the help of an antenna booster) I can up date this more often.

Good-nite all!
