Glacier National Park

Roger and I took a trip up to Glacier National Park on Labor Day weekend.  It has been a place we had talked about seeing, but hadn't really planned on going.  The doctor I work with had taken a trip up to visit with his grandparents in Canada and had talked about how beautiful it was and encouraged us to go up.  He has been up there several times and knows alot about the area, so I told Roger and we decided to just do it.

Well, I have tried and tried to get this BLEEPING blog to cooperate with me, and can't seem to get the pictures to stay in order while I freeeaking blog, so I will just let them stay where they are and not comment at all !!!!!   FREEEAAK!  ( pulling out my hair and screaming)

We saw the bear (close up) near the end...it is supposed to be in the spot my stupid picture is.  The sunset was the first damned picture I took and all the rest are out of order too.  It is nearly midnight and I have been working on this for over an hour and I am tired. 

Goodnite.

Day trips rock!

Took a day and went down "south" to Kolob Canyon and Cedar Breaks in southern Utah a few weeks ago and I am just now getting around to posting the pics from the trip!

It was such a nice day to take a drive, and we took the t-tops off the firebird to enjoy a little sunshine along the way.

As you can see, the sky was a perfect blue, the rock in Kolob is a nice deep red and the trees are the perfect green to create such a gorgeous day!

I love how the trees can grow right out of the side of the sandstone... look at the roots of this one!

... and this rock reminded me of a lizard!

There are many flowers to see along the canyon road... bless Roger's heart, he let me get out and take pics of any and all I desired!

He even stopped so I could take a picture of a silly rock!   But just look how it broke off the original one... can you imagine what it must be like to see here in the canyon with one of the larger mountains??  Awesome to think about, isn't it?

The next few are just some more of the drive along the canyon road.  Hard to capture the beauty of this place.  I really tried, but it isn't easy.

Here is our proof we were there!

Off to Cedar Breaks!  It is on the way to Brian Head... a ski resort in south-central Utah up in the Dixie National Forest. ( If you are at all interested)  LOL

Stopped to take a pic of the Aspen Trees... oh, and Roger, too! :O)

Lots of things to see on the way....   a little waterfall !

We're here!  Yay!  This is the first view we see.....

Amazing, isn't it?  I am so in awe of what we constantly find hidden here in our own backyard! Our Father in Heaven has given us so many beautiful things to enjoy here on earth, hasn't He?  Here... enjoy some more!

Couldn't resist a couple more of ourselves to say "We were HERE!"

What a wonderful day it was ! 

Parting shot..... more flowers on the side of the freeway going home!

Some family pics

Johnny with his Grandpa Pack.. I love this one!

Roger is always kind enough to let me take his picture...it is not easy to get him to smile for the camera however.  I lucked out on this one.

Speaking of not getting a smile outta someone, my brother, JD is hard to get.  You have to sneak one in while he isn't watching... I think l'il Johnny helped me take this one!

We were at my birthday dinner, and Johnny was sitting on my lap, helping me take pictures.... he LOVES to play with the camera!  This is his Aunt Allison muggin for him.Here he is with his cousin, Kaylee.... booger nose and all!  LOL

.... and givin' loves to his Grandma Pack... such a sweet guy!

Just thought I'd share some of the beautiful iris that we have here at Mom and Dad's house.  The wind has been rough on them the past 4 or 5 days, otherwise, I would have been able to take more pics.. the colors are so pretty right now. I hope to be able to get a few more before the flowers end....   enjoy!I didn't realize iris came in so many colors!
