We're Going to the Zoo Zoo Zoo (Hogle Zoo)

Today I went and picked Lindsay up from Zach's work. She came to work with me until noon, then we drove home picked up Scott, then drove and picked up dad. We headed to the Hogle Zoo. Dad had been so bored from staying home after surgery, so we took him out for the afternoon.
The weather was perfect, mid 80's, a slight canyon breeze and it wasn't very crowded. We had a lot of fun watching the animals. It must have been around feeding time. Because all the animals seemed very active.

We enjoyed an ice cream and enjoyed the fun animals and the wonderful weather....
But, most of all we enjoyed being together as Family!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

I'm so glad when daddy comes home, glad as I can be, clap my hands & shout for joy, then climb upon his knee. Put my arms around his neck, hug him tight like this. Pat his cheek and give him what? A GREAT BIG KISS!

Alaska Cruise

For our 25th Wedding Anniversary we decided to take a Cruise to Alaska. We went with our parents, friends and daughter. We flew to Seattle, boarded the Infinity Ship and started our cruise. We saw amazing grave yards, flew over glaciers on a float plane, went to a glacier in the ship, saw lumberjacks and totem's. It was a wonderful cruise with wonderful people!

TOPAZ Mountain 4-Wheelin'

Dad, Scott, Lindsay and I had the day off and decided to take the 4-wheelers out. We drove for over an hour in the truck out west, a lot of it on dirt road, we unloaded the bikes and rode them to Topaz Mountain. It was like a diamond mine. Every where you looked it glittered on the mountain with chips of Topaz! We spent quite a while collecting topaz off the mountain.

Then we rode to another spot and collected obsidian rocks. Obsidian is black shiny rocks made from lava. There were rocks everywhere on the ground.

On our way back to the truck we saw this shack looking structor. I think it must have been what they used in the olden days to load Ore into trucks or wagons after mining it?

We made several stops to get a drink or a treat on the trail. We got home pretty late that day, but we didn't care...we had a blast and made great memories!
