Burnin' Up the Road

We've been putting a lot of miles on our van over the last six weeks or so...it can get kind of old, especially when you're making the same trip, so I started passing time by taking photos. ☺
These were not taken all on the same day. Some were taken over a month ago before things were even starting to green up.
Looking out over the Great Salt Lake.

I've always thought this valley was so pretty. (it's the one right before Eureka, don't know it's name) I've always thought it would be kind of cool to live here, except for the yearly wildfires and that fact that I think it's conservation land.
Looking toward the Little Sahara sand dunes
it was REALLY windy that day and there was lots of sand in the air. All the poor suckers over there trying to ride their motorcycles and 4-wheelers.
By Sevier "Lake"
Caught a few wildflowers on the side of the road...Cary wouldn't let me stop to take pictures. The wildflowers of all colors were everywhere our last trip, so pretty.
Highway in the sky... I think I counted over 20 new plane trails. Busy day.
Geologists dream.
I took this picture of the Ibex flat the day before the Barsoom filming crew descended in. They made camp right in front of that little mountain right there in the middle of the hard pan. When we drove past again a few days later we were wondering what was going on since there were so many trailers and vehicles out there and people driving all over. 
 Rumor has it that Hugh Jackman was there! Had I known.....☺
Notch Peak
Kings Canyon
Sometimes, this is the best. sight. ever. ☺
When I was a senior in high school, 
our entire junior high and high school went on a 30 day long choir trip across the US,
 we had tons of fun,
went through a bunch of states,
saw cool sites,
but I remember coming over this pass
and the sight of Mt Wheeler 
made us all VERY happy!
The End.

Graduation Party

Dillon graduated from highschool on Friday, and on Sunday, Josh and Kiera had an all day party for him up at East Canyon Resort.


Josh and I had a camera war...
I win.
Almost didn't recognize Tallen when I saw him. (I also don't remember how to spell his name so if someone wants to enlighten me.) ☺
Kiera with her grandma and uncle. (right?) There were a lot of people there that I didn't know. ☺ Heh.
It started out as a very nice morning and quickly heated up to the 90's that day. A little hot for most of us since it was in the 60's the week before.
We need a little bit of time to acclimate from Winter to Summer. Gosh.
Dillon, Thad (Kiera's brother), and her grandma. (?)
The heat was starting to get to people.


Picture time!
The Faber family (minus Chris, Amanda, and Shawn)
The resort had all sort of fun things for people to do. Swimming, running through fountain sprinklers, tennis, golf, volleyball, etc...
Some pictures of the drive back home.
Utah is so pretty with such diverse landscapes.

It starts already...


Later that day, Greg, Lois, and Jordy stopped by to visit and Lois took the kids outside to swing.
Ella was a fan


I've posted more house pictures/ progress on my Nutty Stuff blog.
