Some hot springs in Yellowstone

Lower Falls in Yellowstone

The Buffalo were really presumptuous with walking through the campsites, but who's going to argue?

Uncle Johnny with Lincoln

The famous Old Faithful geyser. Not sure what the hoop-la is about. Even for a geyser, it is neither the tallest, longest lasting, nor the most predictable of the geysers in the park.

Old faithful #2, worth the hoop-la

Morning in the campground next to Yellowstone Lake

Taylor's 4th Birthday Party

We invited a bunch of kids over from Taylor's church class and the neighborhood, as well as some family that was in town. They all had a great time. Funny about the cupcakes that mom made below: all of the kids who had them only licked off the frosting and took one bite of the cupcake, then left them!

Las Vegas, etc

Some time in Las Vegas for Grandpa Chuck's 70th Birthday party. Here poolside at the Mirage with Casey's brother Rick and his family, and his brother Sean
We had a delicious dinner at a fancy Chinese restaurant in the Mirage hotel. Here's a group shot of everyone: Top Row: niece Allie, Casey, Emma, Sandy, Rick, Grandpa Chuck; Bottom Row: nephew William, nephew Ricky, Sean, Grandma Diane.

Here's a couple of shots at Old Cove Fort, a historical site for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, located in central Utah. This fort was created as a stopping point for people traveling west during its occupied time.


On a hike with my dog Shiloh in the trails above Pleasant Grove, Utah, close to where we live. Beautiful streams, pine forests, and meadows there.
