Albion Basin

Kathy and I took a drive up Little Cottonwood Canyon yesterday to enjoy the wild flowers in Albion Basin. Here are a few photos. I didn’t get shots of us since the parking lot was full and we had to keep moving, but it was a fun outing to a place Kathy had never been before.

Summer Fun

Here are some shots from the short back packing trip I took with Josh and Matt to the far side of Washington Lake last Thursday. They both said it was the best camping trip they’ve ever been on. - only because we all caught fish! It was seriously hot fishing when we first got to our camp site. We kept 5 fish for our dinner one of which we shouldn’t have. It was one sick rainbow that turned to mush when cooked – ech! The others were really good, so it was a great experience. We caught more fish in the morning but didn’t keep any. The photo of Josh with a fish was taken in the morning. The companion shot is of Matt releasing it. On the way home we stopped at the Uinta Drive Inn in Kamas for lunch. Great food! I really liked the onion rings and the burgers were really good; served on a square, toasted bun. Other fun things we did while they were with us: swimming 3 times; flying my cheapy RC plane successfully; shooting pellet gun and bow and arrow; watching 24th of July neighborhood fireworks including “Cul-de-sac of Fire” in the Rosenthal’s neighborhood. I also threw in shots of Lauren with light sticks. First time for MaryAnn’s girls. Megan said it was the best celebration ever! I also included a couple of shots of Emily for Shannon’s sake.

I made this entry using Windows Live Writer per MaryAnn’s recommendation by way of Jared. I was sooo frustrated with Blogspot’s photo down loading. This is way better. I highly recommend it! Let me know if using photo albums is a bad idea. It's also possible to load photos directly with Live Writer.
