Return from Vacation

We are home from our vacation in Utah. It was a very good trip. We did a grand tour of the National Parks in the southern part of the state.
  • Capitol Reef

  • Arches

  • Canyon Lands (Island in the Sky and Needles)

  • Navajo National Monument

  • Pipe Spring National Historic Site

  • Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

  • Escalante Grand Staircase National Monument

  • Zion NP

  • Bryce Canyon NP


We did some good hiking and touring. I found Canyon Lands to be particularly interesting. We also went to a very good dinosaur museum in Salt Lake City. All in all it was a fun trip and a good vacation.

Upcoming Vacation

I am looking forward to our upcoming vacation. The more I think about it, the more I am ready to go.

A bump on the head

Seth got his first bump on the head yesterday. He was playing on a bridge at Brookside Garden and apparently slipped off of it between the lower rail and the bridge deck. After thinking about this for a while it seems like he probably hit his head on the rail and not on the ground because his clothes were not dirty and he had no other scratches. As it is he has two scrapes and a blue spot over his left eye. Debbie was feeling much worse about it than he was.

Another Tooth

I just got a message from Debbie that Seth has another tooth. I'm not sure which one, but that makes eleven.

Family Weekend

I had quite a good weekend. Saturday was a very productive 'around home' day. Lawn mowing, brush cutting, mulching, car washing and so on. Debbie cleaned out the back corner of the yard which had turned into a real boars nest over the last few years. It now looks good.

Sunday we went up to Baltimore to see Joe and Maureen's new house. It looks like a pretty nice place. I think they will like living there. The best thing about it is that they don't have to do anything to get it ready to move in. It's already painted and the kitchen and bathroom have been updated. All they have to do is move in their furniture and it will feel just like home.
