Christmas Day 2014

Christmas morning brought us our first big snow storm of the year.

My one and only camera victim for the day:

On Saturday night my oldest daughter and her family, from Arizona, will be here for a visit.

Christmas Lights

My oldest daughter is here for a quick visit.
She just brought her 3 year old with her.


We went to see some lights in Draper Park.
This was named 'The Tree Of Life';

It was a nice little outing.
We have been hanging around my husbands hospital room since Sunday night.

The Human Race (Turkey Trot)

This was our third year participating in The Human Race. It's a benefit for the Utah Food Bank. .
There were a lot of people!



This years runners and walkers:

Here we go:

Happy Thanksgiving, 

                                                                            The End

P.S. Later today Sarah went to her first 3D Movie. Her eyes work!
She just had a second eye surgery.

Pond Fishing

What does an afternoon of Pond Fishing look like?

Find a pond like this:

Catch a fish:

Catch more fish.
Clean them at the fish cleaning station:

Go home and grill the fish.
Eat a nice dinner:

Watch out for tiny bones!

Bloods Lake In October

We walked over to Bloods lake.
We found this cute raft that somebody made:

Just me again:

Joe is on a little Island.
You have to walk across a log to get on it.
I went out on it too.

Joe is a little faster than me going up trails.
We are heading back now:

Lower in the canyon we stopped to see the last of the yellow leaves:

Soon we may be getting out the snowshoes.

Fall

Fall is here.
We went on a Saturday morning stroll.
This was partly to make up for the fact that our anniversary got rained out.
We traditionally head for the mountains on that day.


First we walked among the pine trees:

Later we took a short trail over to Bloods lake:

Maybe next weekend we will pack a lunch and sit by the lake for awhile.

Labor Day

It's Labor Day.
Joe and I got out of the house.
We went to the Heber area and tried some fishing.


Our first spot was on the inlet to Deer Creek Reservoir.
The water was a bit swift for bait fishing.

P.B.& J. break:

Our next  spot was on the Provo River:

The water was a bit slower here and seemed like a good place:

Lets just say it was good practice.
We have concluded that some places require fly fishing equipment.
Maybe next summer we will upgrade our gear.
