I'm Back!

I am back from our vacation, and sorry I just kind of disappeared! We had a really good time. We went to a family reunion in Las Vegas, and I saw relatives I hadn't seen in over a decade! We had an auction that was really fun, and I sold a print of the eagle and the daisy painting. After the family reunion my dad had another surgery on his knee. (he had just had a hernia operation a week before.) We were quite busy helping him to recuperate. However we did manage to celebrate the fourth with family and friends, and we made it to the cabin in mammoth creek for the weekend. Here are a few pictures.

Lots of fun swimming in my parents pool.

This is why I love the cabin. This is the creek that runs behind my parents cabin. It was cool, beautiful, and so fun to watch the birds, and chipmunks eating the seeds my parents leave for them on the deck. The kids really love the cabin. It is always a little sad leaving.

I-15 was closed due to a wild fire that jumped the freeway. So we had to take highway 89, which was about two hours longer, but really beautiful. This was a beautiful sunset, that my camera just doesn't even come close to capturing the real beauty. This was taken from the highway, just beautiful. I wish I would have had more time to visit with old friends in Vegas, but I promise I will find the time soon!!! Great to be back in blogger land! I will be visiting everybody, and catching up on all my reading!
