Tuesday

First of all...

WELCOME QUINCY!!!!

What a little doll she is!

And now on to Tuesday.

Tuesday saw us up and out "early"

On tap today was another of Kyle's

Bucket List items.

Last year when he was out in Utah

he very nearly went to Arches 

and Canyonland.

But then he decided to head on home to Florida.

And he has regretted it ever since.

So this trip he was bound and determined.

There are some amazing things to see there!

And see them we did!

But you won't.

Because about here, my phone froze.

And then it took ALL DAY to get it to reboot.

And then it died for real.

So.

Take my word for it.

We had a GREAT time.

We climbed up into the arches.

We took pictures - well Rod and Kyle did.

We saw some beautiful things.

And then we drove up the road to Moab

for a bite to eat (we were STARVED)

and then on to Canyonlands.

It was really fun to see the "mini" Grand Canyon.

So beautiful!

We timed it so we could watch the sun set.

And then we waited and waited and waited

until it was full dark so Kyle could take pictures

of the gazillion stars.

I spread out a jacket and plopped down on it

(on the sidewalk) and star gazed to my heart's content.

It was WONDERFUL!!!

(It also meant we didn't get back to the cabin until

nearly 2 in the morning... but Kyle was so pumped

from seeing more stars than he has ever seen in his life

that he had no trouble staying awake to drive...)

I don't think I've ever seen the Milky Way clearer

than I did that night.  

Our world is simply gorgeous!
