COWBOYS, COPS & ROBBERS OR Ninjas?

Yesterday I got to pick up Jacob from his bus stop.

As soon as we got to his house he said, "Grandma, what do you want to play,

Cowboys, Cops & Robbers or Ninjas?"


Well, that was such a hard decision, I talked him into Pinball on the Wii.

I Love this Boy!!!

So many fun memories were made.

TOP OF THE SAND DUNES

We rode from our house to the top of the Hurricane Sand Dunes.

We used to play around the dunes when the

kids were home.

The jeep and the truck were always fun.

Remember the 'Party Rock?'

Lots of fun times.

PEEK-A-BOO AND OTHER FUN

On the way to the Lake.
Natures' Beauty

PEEK-A-BOO AND OTHER FUN

On Labor Day we took the kids and went to Peek-A-Book

Slot Canyon. It is such a fun place, and an easy hike.

Of course, they found lots of places to hide.

This is the underground Lake.
Many think it is pretty cool, I think it is a
little creepy.



Checking the Indian Ruins.

Explorers.

TORNADO IN HURRICANE?

I know, I shouldn't laugh, and should never share this story,

But...

So, my 'Stepmother' goes to the store, she has groceries in her trunk and so....

she BACKS up in her garage. And did a mighty fine job.

She thinks she has backed up too far,

she gets back in the car to pull a little forward.

Forgetting she has already closed the garage door..... she drives into it,

backs up.......

hits the wall and pulls forward, again hitting the garage door.

And yes, the neighborhood heard the

commotion and comes running.

Oh, how embarrassing

and probably alot expensive.

Please forgive me at her expense but didn't you need a laugh?

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE

I got up this morning and Kenneth
asked me to go with him to Browse.
He made a picnic, loaded the 'Buggy'
and away we went.
It reminded us of a picnic long ago
when we were dating.
Good times.

My Hero jumped the rocks for this picture.

Kenneth by the 'Sequoia Tree'

HOODOO-YA, RIGHT

So, today Kenneth & I go for a little road trip.
We were really enjoying all of the shapes and sizes of the rocks.
Kenneth says to me, "Look at all the Hoodoos."
And I start laughing,
He says, "You don't believe me, I can't believe
you don't believe me."
I tell him that no one would name anything a hoodoo.
"What do you want to bet?" He says.
I know better than to bet him as I am usually wrong.
We get home, look on the internet, and I'll be darned,
there are really such a thing.
Lots of Hoodoos are around us.
I love learning new things, but I still think it is a funny name.

PEEK-A-BOO CANYON-UNDERGROUND LAKE-INDIAN RUINS

-Last week Kenneth & I went to Peek-a-boo slot canyon.
Some Indian ruins, and an underground lake.
I took a picture of the lake, but it is pitch black in there.
(And pretty darn creepy)
We did have a picnic at a table by the lake.
Went into Kanab and got an Ice Cream.
It was a great 'Buggy' ride.
We went to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, thinking we could
see the animals, and my thought being that Kenneth would fall in love
with a darling little puppy that I just knew
would be there waiting just for us.
But, you can't just go see the animals, you have to go
on a hour & half tour.
Or become a volunteer.
(Sorry sweet little puppy)
It was another great adventure.

NEW ROPE SWING

'Papa' hung a rope in the tree on the front lawn.
The kids have been having a ball.

JULY 24TH PIONEER PARADE

This morning we went to the July 24th parade.
Does anyone remember decorating your bicycle
and riding in the parade?
We saw some very great people,
here is a little sample.
I love 'Our Valley'!!

SPENDING TIME

Kenneth and I have been able to spend alot of time together the past few months.

It has been great!
In June we went to the Balloon Rally in Panguitch.
This was right outside my Sisters back yard.
I got better pictures of the balloons, but had to post one with
the horses.
They were so pretty in the beautiful green field.

If you want really yummy food, you go to My Sister Susan's
house. Oh my, it was like a buffet all day.
(And I hear the whole weekend.)

On July 2nd, my Nephew came home from his mission.
We were all very happy to see him.
Well done, Loren!

Kenneth and I went from Coral Pink Sand dunes
to Mtn. Carmel Junction.
He loves the rocks and sand and sage brush.
But when we see the lush green, I start
shooting pictures.
I really Love this Guy.

He took me to breakfast an the junction, I can't smile and hold my
eyes open at the same time.
It was a good day.
Life is good!
