We didn’t have too far to go this day.  We picked up some supplies in Flagstaff, then headed east toward Albuquerque.  We stopped on the way at the Barringer Crater, which I visited in 2007. The Crater was formed by a meteorite and is pretty impressive.  Toren seemed interested in the museum that is there,…

We got up early this morning and began getting everything ready to go.  Our timing for Lake Powell was off a bit and we ended right at the end of the week.  This was the day everyone was leaving, and that means a lot of work.  We were ready to help get everything cleaned up,…

We spent all of this day at Lake Powell as well.  I got up early to go skiing with some of my nieces and nephews.  I got some skiing in.  It’s amazing how well muscle-memory works.  I can still slalom, though I’m sure I’ve lost some of my form from when I was younger.  And…

We left fairly early in a caravan, headed for Southern Utah with Debi’s family.  We stopped in Price on our way for a quick lunch at A&W, where Toren posed as a statue: Just after Price, the caravan split up.  Some went on to Moab and we went with Debi’s sister and her family to…

We started the day with a visit to church.  Debi’s brother was in town with his newborn and they were going to bless him, so we went to sacrament meeting to attend the blessing.  Since I go to church a couple times a year anyway, I counted this for one of those visits and took…
