Happy Birthday Aaron...

Aaron had a Birthday this month ......

Hope your day was wonderful .

He took his family on a road trip to the "Redwoods"

for his Birthday so we have not celebrated yet..

But he did turn a year older.

This is what he looked like when I first met him...

Here he is now with his wonderful family...

Do you still like each other after the loooooong road trip?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRISCILA

Grandgirls party on.......

ANOTHER SLEEP OVER WITH THE GRAND GIRLS.

We started by driving all over Ogden and looking at the "Horse Statues".

We were gong to walk but the weather was rather breezy and threatened rain.

So we settled for picking our favorite from the car.

Analyns's favorite was called

"Poppy"

It was located on the East side of Washington Blvd just past 24th street.

Emma's horse did not have a name so we named it

"Rocky"

cause it had the "Rocky Mountains" painted on it.

It was located in the 100 block of 25th street on the south side next to some

"Hell's Angels"

Lindsey's Horse was called

"Carousel"

and was located on the west side of the street close to 23rd and Washington.

And last but not least, my favorite was called

"Forever Friends "

and was located on 25th street on the south east corner of Grant and 25th.

Then we did things backwards...

We went here for Ice Cream......

Then we got a pizza at "Little Caesars"

and bought coloring books and crayons

[cause who does not like to color]

We watched the first DVD of "Christie"

until early morning....

French toast for breakfast....

Dropped off Emma and Lindsey to go...what else but

Horse back riding...

and then Analyn and I drove to Bear Lake for

Raspberry Days.

Another successful

SLEEP-OVER

[Now I need to catch up on my sleep]

Blanche, Frances, and Lillian.....not related

Last weekend I went with my WWDI Hiking Friends.

This time we drove to Salt Lake's "Big Cottonwood Canyon" and hiked up to three lakes....

BLANCHE, FRANCES, AND LILLIAN

It was a perfect day for a hike....

We got on the trail about 7:15AM

The trail was about 2 1/2 miles to the lakes, but it was straight up.

Here are some photos of the Hike.

LAKE BLANCHE

LAKE FLORENCE

These Lakes were beautiful.

The sky was over cast, so you don't appreciate just how beautiful it was up there,

but it was really beautiful.

and finally....

LAKE LILLIAN

There was all kinds of different wildflowers and fauna, and rock formations.

There were parts at the top that reminded me of the rocks at Lake Powell.

Here is a view looking down in to Little Cottonwood Canyon.

We were down off the mountain by noon.

It was the perfect hike.

I did not think after hiking the dreaded Wellsville Ridge Hike,

that I would be able to hike a steep trail again,

but I did and I felt good at the end.

And this is THE END of this post.
