Travels with Lar and Mar

Gallivanting in Utah

June 20 - 23

We finished the Trek – central Wyoming – heck we were already halfway to Utah. So we didn’t go home. Instead, on Saturday afternoon we pushed on to Logan. It was a just five more hours, and we did get to stop in Little America for an ice cream cone, and we got in one of Wyoming’s infamous horizontal thunderstorms.

We spent Saturday and Sunday in Hyde Park – Cache Valley – at Mar’s mother’s house. The most momentous thing about that was that we never told her we were coming. We went to church on Sunday and then took a drive up Smithfield Canyon. On Monday morning, we dug out a tree stump and relocated a front-yard-living snake.

We then spent Monday and Tuesday in Ogden with my mother and sisters, Melanie. Monday was a day of honey-dos, mostly trimming trees, tearing down vines and cleaning gutters. In the evening we went to dinner with them and Emy, another sister, and Rick. Tuesday we worked with Melanie on her kitchen cabinet project. Then Wednesday we came home, but my mom came with us. She will spend a couple of weeks until Mar comes back for a family reunion.
