Back to Bear Lake

 Jason, Jamie and Peyton traveled back with us then we meet Marci, Kenny and KP at Bear Lake for the night then a full day at the lake.  The little ones seemed to love the sand and had a good time.  The older ones finally warmed up to the water and enjoyed some jet skiing.

 Had a short vist with Auinte Audrey

Then ended the day with a good round of go cart racing.

AROUND CANADA

  We were lucky to see so many great places; hard to pick what to share.
  This is heading to the Vancover Harbor.

 At the harbor it was real interesting to see all the different boats docked, the coming and going of the different boats, plus the seaplanes landing in the water.

 The light house and the park around the light house was a great little hike with lots to enjoy.

                      The Shannon Falls was awesome.

                       One of the many views at the farmers market.
Here's a shot of Jason's new school; his office is on the right side of all the windows.

                 The carousel at Burnaby Village Museum
You were supposed to be 12 months old but... Peyton went on her first ride.  She loved it but once it got up to full speed she wasn't so sure.  (In her defense, it was faster than any carousel I every remember.

It was great to see all the sight,s, but of course, the best was to spend our time with Jason, Jaime, and Peyton.

More of our Trip

 It's been a long while since I've blogged.  I've been busy and then had a lot of problems with the blog.  So I'm going to catch you up on some old shots.
In Oregon we went to Crater Lake; there was still lots of snow and it was snowing then, so hard to see the lake.
(We drove out of the way for  4 hours; it was almost a waste of time.)

 You know I can't pass an old barn with old tractors;
 there was also a long row of tractors in the field next to the barn too.

 Went to the state capital

 Then on to Washington, the Safeco dome.  We met up with Jason, Jamie, Peyton, and Marie.  Marie had flown in to Seattle from Utah.  We went to lunch and then to Pike's Place to watch them throw fish.

Here we are just across the Canadian border then traveled to Burnaby to the Beck's home.  We could not believe how green and full the scenery is. It's very beautiful and hard to describe.

Trip Continued

 Between Euereka and Crescent City we came upon on a heard of elk.  They were fun to watch and you can notice the velvet on their new horns.

 Then we came across Paul Bunnion and his Blue Ox

You can't believe how green it is.

And there is growth all over, like these ferns; you would also see wild berries and fox glove flowers.

 Moss is all over on the north side of trees.

We made it to Oregon.

Our Trip

 On June 7th at 10 pm mom and I loaded up in the car;  on the 20th when we got home, here is what the trip milage read on the car.

 We got to San Fransisco as daylight was breaking; here is the Golden Gate Bridge.

 and the sunrise while driving across the Golden Gate Bridge.

 The redwood trees in Leggett, California

 This redwood was hand-carved out and made into a house to show how massive they are.
The inside was 7' tall and 32' long.

And just one more redwood; they are very impressive on how big the are.

all in threes

 I know this is old news but I have had a lot of problems with the blog; I tried it tonight and it has finally started working so hopefully I"ll get some pictures from the trip up if it keeps working. Any way, a couple of weeks back we picked strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, a grapefruit, an orange and a Mandarin orange all in the same day.
