Nice Night At The Bear Park With A Camera Experiment Thrown In

 This lovely family called and wanted me to hang out with them at The Bear Park.  Newly named (by Aiden) because of the Bear that has been inhabiting the vicinity.

 We didn't actually spend much time at the Park because of the influence river running nudists and their kids, so we walked to the Youth Garden.  Because Hippieville is better than nudisim any day!  Here, Aiden found the mother of all Honeysuckle plants. 


                        Capri found cute little cherry tomatoes to pick and eat out of the nibble garden.




 And a walk down Mulberry Lane is the prettiest walk in all Moab.  We did it on the way there, and on the way back. 

These are all  pictures taken with my old Pentax istD.  I forgot what nice pictures my old camera took.  I didn't edit any of these much at all.  Just cropped some of them, sharpened them slightly, and stuck them on here.  If only I could put these two cameras together into one, I think I would have the perfect camera.  If only . . .

Fishing Lessons

For Family Home Evening we went to Ken's Lake to learn all about Fishing

Kenny had his fishing Kayak, and although Capri was tethered to the shore, she thought paddling around in the lake was pretty fun!  

She got pretty good at,  and wanted to "do it again" over and over and over :)

Went we got home from fishing at Cozzens Camp, Kenny was appalled at how we had set up the kid's fishing poles.  So he taught us the proper way to do it.  It was fun to learn, but I'm like, "Hey, we caught fish!"  

Jill started fishing with Kenny's fly rod, and there was a beautiful sunset on the lake, so I got a few pictures of her fly fishing.  You can't really tell she's fly fishing because I was all about the sun set.  But we know.  

She even caught a fish on that fly rod!!  That's Drew's rod in the foreground.  Just so you can tell it was fishing we were doing.  

It was a fun Family Home Evening.  And nice to get back to having those after we took a sabbatical for the summer.  Love having family here!  Wish you were ALL here!!
