Halloween 2012

Yellowstone

For a last hurrah before school starts, we decided to go up to Yellowstone with the Simons for a couple of days.

The bison (not buffalo, learn the difference here) crossing the river.

We had a lot of fun at Yellowstone and with the Simons!

Camping at Nuck Woodward

This past weekend we went Camping up at Nuck Woodward. This is where Luci's family used to take the sheep for a period of time in the summer. Joe brought most of his family and camped with us. Most of the Jorgensens joined us the next day for a picnic. We also brought the horses to ride!

Like Grandpa, Like Grandson

Joe's Valley Revisited

We saw that Joe's Valley was full, so we decided to go have a picnic for Family Home Evening.

The reservoir was full.

Lots of water going down the spillway.

Birthday Time!

Jorgen turned 6 today! We can't believe it. Yesterday we went to Cars 2 and had lots of fun up in Provo. Today we had his cake and opened presents. Happy Birthday bud.

Our version of the Angry Birds cake

SLC Conference

This past week, Luci had a conference up in Salt Lake for two days, so I had the boys. Of course we did the down town stuff.

We went to Temple Square.

We went to the roof of the Conference Center.

They really didn't want their pictures taken.

We had never been to the gateway fountains. My boys loved them, however they did not want to get wet, so they didn't join in the fun. They just wanted to watch. Next time I will get them to go in and get wet. I might have to bring swimsuits, but that's ok.

Golfing at Millsite

Tonight, my brother-in-law went golfing at Millsite. The water is going over the spillway, so it was a beautiful sight.

Joe's Valley

Yesterday we took a drive up to Joe's Valley Reservoir to see how high it was.


This is one of the rivers running into it.

With any trip to the water, we must throw rocks into the water.



The water wasn't quite up to the spillway, about 10-15 feet away, but it is expected to do so here in the next week or two.
