Contortionist

I've never uploaded a video so here goes...this is part of La Circe De L'Orange at Lagoon. The first act was this insane contortionist doing things that just shouldn't be done...

24th of July weekend


Emily, Heather and I thought we'd celebrate the 24th of July weekend by walking in the steps of our pioneer ancestors...and walk up the mountain to the Timpanogas caves. Okay, so it wasn't as hard as they had...I mean the paved walk-way, the short distance etc etc, but it was still a fun hike and the caves were cooler than I even remembered (and by cool I mean 45 degrees...ok and they were pretty awesome too).

Caramel Sundae - named by the two 15 year olds who discovered this place back in 1920 something. Crazy that they would even venture down here without lights and without help.

Inside the cave...chilly!


The "Heart" - the biggest Stalactite in the caves. Do you know the difference between stalactite and stalagmite?

After we left the mountain, we headed to Kneaders for their chunky cinnamon bread french toast (delicious) and then, of course, we needed to head home for a nap. My nap didn't happen though since I decided to "fix" a sprinkler, ended up breaking it off the pipe (oops) and had to start all over. I did fix it though, using a mix of the tools dad made me buy, some boiling water, my hair dryer on an extension cord, lot's of over-the-phone dad advice and some muscle. Yes that's right, muscle. When I got to the hospital to visit Grandpa, I told him about my incredible feat of fixing the sprinkler all by myself and he said, "that's what you get for not having a husband.". Well...he's right! Hahahahaha

Summer pics are coming...but we'll start with Elaine's wedding. I might add some later - pics of the cake and things, but her wedding and luncheon were beautiful.
