Salt Lake City, Utah

We took a trip to Utah to my sister Keri's. We stopped at temple square and as always we had a nice time there. The temple grounds are always so beautiful and peaceful. It was fun for the kids to show Theresa around. My brother Rich came with us and it was great to spend time with him. I don't get to see him often enough so it was a nice say.

Bear World (Rigby, ID)

We took a trip to Bear World.

It was such a fun day at Bear World. We saw the strangest thing as we were driving through the park.... a gray cat (domestic cat as in hear kitty kitty)was sitting right in front of a sleeping bear. The cat was gray and white. It just looked up at all of us like it had no problem sleeping by an 800 pound bear!!! It was so amazing. I asked one of the park rangers about it, but I don't think they believed me. I told them that I even had video!! (the picture above on the right shows the cat in the weeds and the bear is to the left under the braches asleep) Anyway, it was a fun day. One bear walked right up our suburban. The kids also got to pet and feed deer, chickens, turtles, goats and a very onry pig. It was a fun day for our family.

Camping at Warm River (Ashton, ID)

We went camping one last time this last week. It was so beautiful up in the mountains. (it almost made me forget that I hate camping)
