Central Utah: We survived the blood-sucking, biting flies

We just got back from Capitol Reef/Boulder/Torrey, Utah. We had a great long weekend away. It is late and I need to get my body in bed. Until tomorrow please enjoy some pictures I took with our our Old School First Generation Pentax Optio-S point-and-shoot Digital Camera. Yes, my D70 is in the shop again. And I tell you what — it is a crazy day when my old Optio (with its dinosaur burst rate) focuses and takes a comparable picture to my newer and much more expensive Nikon D70.

Easy E. and our new friends, the Harley Riders: The Anasazi Museum, Boulder, Utah. Thank God we walked the tiny museum together. I felt like we were traveling with our very own crew from Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Here is a self-portrait of me kissing my new friend, Horse-Horse. We met and named Horse-Horse at the awesome lodge where we stayed our first night.

Dave, Eli and Kyle. Torrey, Utah.


If there is a Narnia on Earth, I think we found it here in Fruita, Utah (the edge of Capitol Reef National Park). We stood and watched as the deer watched us as all of us (the deer, Dave, me and the boys) ate the crazy purple berries off of the trees.

  1. Whew! I was beginning to worry that you’d run off with the circus!

    That place looks like so much fun. I love it when you meet up with people that you normally wouldn’t hang out with and end up having a blast! Sounds like you guys had fun. And Horse-Horse looked nice, too.

    Have I mentioned that your kids are just beautiful?

  2. wow, those pix are gorgeous.

    and i can’t believe the D70’s out of commission AGAIN! they need to just give you guys a new camera at this point.

    welcome home!

  3. My camera’s in the shop, too. It’s as if our camera’s menstrual cycles have synched up.

    Now, when can you come and visit so our uterus’s can synch up, too? I know it’s not so easy, but we’d love to see you.

  4. I LOVE those pictures. Well done. I just got a Canon Rebel XT and I’m loving it, but my 4-year-old Dinocam was just as good. Too bad our cat broke it.

    P.S. My son’s name is Kyle. I’m seeing it more and more, aren’t you?

  5. Hey there,

    I haven’t been to your site for awhile and was thrilled to see you were expecting again. Congratulations! That’s wonderful.

  6. MY HARD DRIVE DIED YESTERDAY MORNING! I AM BESIDE MYSELF! THANK GOD DAVE WAS ABLE TO GET MY PHOTOS OFF OF MY COMPUTER LATE LAST NIGHT! I AM WORKING ON GETTING THINGS FIXED! AS IT STANDS, I NEED A NEW LAPTOP OR AT LEAST A NEW HARD DRIVE! ARGH!
