AUNT CHERIES VISIT

My Aunt Cherie and cousin Michael came for a visit over he 4th of July weekend.

It was great to spend some quality time with them. I have not seen Michale for 19 years...he was just a little boy who was fascinated with my cassette playing walkman. He is not quite such a little guy any longer and technology has come a long way.
It also gave me the chance to spend som time talking with my Aunt Cherie. She is a pretty neat lady. Kind of sad she lives so far way and the opportunities to get together are so few. But I am grateful for the visit we had this summmer.
We took a drive to the Buckhorn Panel in Emery County. The sun was in an awful position to see the indian writings clearly and definitely impossible to take pictures.

After that we drove to Millsite and had a pleasant lunch at the golf course restaurant.

Goblin Valley (May 26 & 27)

Just a quick post to get everyone caught up on where the Webers have been.
On Memorial Day we woke up, packed up Steve's truck and made the 4 hour drive to Goblin Valley. There was a campsite that Steve hoped we would be able to acquire, but unfortuantely there was already some people set up there. So we drove a little further from that site and found another quaint site.
We all worked together to set up the tent and our kitchen area. Steve even made a little restroom (this came in handy) from a tarp and a seat that he had borrowed from our friends Brian and Suzanne. After rolling out our sleeping bags and getting the camp all set up we drove into the park.
The kids had a blast climbing on the rock formations, through holes and crevices. It was fun to watch them tear around through the park.
After a few hours in the park, we went back to our campsite and Steve began working on dinner. He had brought all the inredients to make a pizza and then cook it in a dutch oven. It looked so good...kind of a deep dish , Chicago style pizza. He was thoughtful enough to bring a piece of chicken to grill for me.
We all slept well through the night. Steve brought an air mattress for us to sleep on and I loved that. It was so much more comfortable. I slept so well, that everyone else was up and helping out with breakfast when I finally emerged from the tent. Zack was proud of himself for preparing "mountain man breakfast".
Before we knew it breakfast was being cleaned up, rolling bags were rolled back up and the tent was down. It was time to visit Little Wildhorse Canyon and then make our way home.
It was a fun trip. I was a little nervous about camp just out in the boonies. I have always preferred the sites, having other people around, possibly even flush toilets and showers. But this turned out ok. I would probably do it again...sometime.
