Snow!?

Fall in Utah

Now, we don't have the fancy colors that you see in New England, but if you head to the mountains they aren't half bad! We went up to Brighton, (Frank and Micki and I with the kids) and saw some very pretty scenery. The third pic down is of a beaver dam we saw...Emma was very thrilled with this. And of course, I have to show the new bird I saw up there, a Steller's Jay, which is the western version of the Blue Jay.

FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS!

There was a huge fire in the mountains near our home. We live about 5-6 miles from the fire, we got a great veiw of the flames and smoke. No one was hurt in this fire, just so you know, no homes were burned.

Summer in the Gardens

Micki and I took the kids to the Thanksgiving Point Gardens this summer. It was really fun. Below are pics of the kids and some of the scenery and I got a couple pics of a Belted Kingfisher too. The pond pictured below has a bridge and it's called the 'Monet Bridge'...it's very much Monet looking, they did a great job. And Emma and her BFF, Patience.

First Dance Class

The pictures in the dance studio do NOT turn out well, I am not sure why, but these are the only good pics I have so far of Emma in her dance stuff. I will try and take more next week.

Here is a small video from class.
