Capitol Reef NP and Fish Lake


Twin rocks,
located just as you go into Capitol Reef.
Or 2 big mushrooms???
On the drive south we noticed this;
frozen irrigation lines


Capitol Reef National Park is
in southern Utah, 1 of the 5 in our state

Notice all the red rock
Sally on a curly tree
The Castle

One room school house in Fruita, UT
used until 1941

One room school house
where 8-26 children were taught
Petroglyphs ( prehistoric Indian drawings)


Pretty flowers

I think this looks like a dinosaur

The different colors of the rock is amazing

Is this a snake or clam shell?

Another view, looks like a snake ready to strike


This tree must be about thousand years old,
ok, maybe a few hundred

Paul with the man eating tree

LDS early chapel

Free range cattle on the Gooseberry Road in
Fish Lake State Park
at this point we were at about 12,000 ft. above sea level
that explains the snow

Coming down a very narrow, switch back road

We had a fun time,
had yummy fresh baked mixed fruit pie
in Fruita, went swimming at our motel,
and Paul got to seat in the car while I
had fun shopping.
Thanks Dear.
We also were able to listen to
General Conference on the radio.

Crazy weather

Crazy weather in Utah.
Yesterday I was out lazing in the pool.
The temperature was 87 degrees.
Today it it rainy, and cold, 45 degrees.
Snow in the mountains.
Like I said,
Crazy weather!

Fun Day with Kade and Addie

Last night I went to Kade's
soccer game, then
the kids came back with me
for a sleep over.
This morning; we took
the train up to
Salt Lake to watch the
Ringling Brothers Circus Parade.
They loved it!!!
Then Paul met us and we went to the
fountains at the Gateway for the
kids to play in.
Lunch at Bruges Waffles.
We shared yummy cinnamon waffles,
one with fresh peaches and the other with
fresh strawberries.
AND FRITES.
YUM.
Then back to Grammy and Grandpop's
for swimming.
Fun time was had by all!

Yummy Frites

Is that Dolly the Elephant??

The clowns

Notice the baby on the horse too
Minnie horses

Saturday Fun

This past Saturday we started the day with Kade's soccer game. They a played a good team, with one kid who was the star that NEVER came out for a rest. Needless to say; the other team had lots of goals. Kade had a good time; he was so funny smiling at us as he ran by.





Kade is number 6
