Utah in a Nutshell

We had a whirl wind two weeks in Payson Utah looking for work and visiting family. I didn't take many pictures because our focus was on job hunting but I did manage to take a few here and there... This is what we did...
Blow bubbles across from a pumpkin field...and drop off a resume...

Take a rest...the elevation got to us the first few days. We were all tired and had headaches. Play at the park... Henry is such a good sport for being forced to go down slides. Meet new people...even warm fuzzy ones... my cousin Rich is always fun to be around. The kids learned to play pool... We went for walks in our PJ's. My cousin Kathy and her husband Troy came down from Idaho to visit us while we were with Rich and Mary Kaye. It was great seeing them. They brought Kathy's little doggy Zeus. He was teeny but would rough house with the bigger dogs. Victoria was very happy to finally have a dog that she could walk and not be drug halfway down the street. Kathy and Troy. I ahve discovered that Kathy and I are alot alike. It is kind of wierd and funny. King Zeus. We hung out with Duke. Kaleb hid in the basement wells... We watched the "fly Nazi" in search of flies... Rich has this helicopter hanging in his garage with this GI joe guy. The Snappy Plumbing is his company name. He drew the guy himself. He could draw for Marvel Comics. Kaleb lost a tooth within the first hour of arriving in Utah and Victoria lost a tooth near the end of our trip. Mary Kaye was telling us that when she was little her brothers used to call her a "toothless hag" when she lost a tooth. We couldn't help but thinking that Victoria looked like a little "toothless hag" herself. She has lost 6 teeth already this year.Daphne baked cupcakes.....

We went frog hunting... This frog was enormous! I ahve never seen a frog this size in the wild...then again there were alot of firsts...We were all facinated by the weather. Rich was probably thinking we were so wierd but it rained frequently and their hot wasn't even hot. It was warm with a cool breeze.

The last day of our trip we decided to do something completely different. After driving around Utah looking for work kind of wore us out mentally and physically. So we visited the Hogle Zoo with Luke as our tour guide. He told us things we would have never known...and things we wish we never knew...heehee We drove past side ways waterfalls on the way up to Park City to go shopping. Actually I need to rotate the picture that Daphne took...long story...I might just leave it that way. It was beautiful either way. We went school clothes shopping in Park City...MaryKaye and I were in Banana Republic. I never quite got a picture of Mary Kaye...she was gone often with her Mom who had an injury the week that we were there. Kaleb, Jared, Luke, Rich, Chad, Victoria and Kirk.

We came home to 110 degree heat and very tall grass that was nearly dead underneathe. Even though we found no work we had an awesome time. We got to know our family even more. That's all that counts.
