St. George and Bryce Canyon

Can you tell the wind was blowing?

In front of the Poster "Annie"




Last weekend Aug 14, 15, and 16, Dave had business in St. George. So he went down on Wedenesday and I joined him on Friday. We had such a great time. We went to the play "Annie" at Tuacan, which is an outdoor theater in the evening. The next day we decieded to drive through the cities of Hilldale and Colorado City. These are poligamist cities. I had just finished reading the book "Escape" which is about a woman who was in a poligamist marriage and how she escaped with her 8 children. Very interesting to me. After that we were going to go to "Zions National Park" but decided to drive on to "Bryce Canyon". Dave had never been to "Bryce" and it had been 20 years since I had been there, so It was fun to see it together. It was absolutly amazing. I am so grateful for the beautiful world that Heavenly Father has created for us. We are so blessed to be able to witness his creation. Dave and I really had a nice time. We enjoy taking road trips, and sometimes the ones that are spur of the moment are the best.

Ashley's Graduation









We went to Ashley's graduation and it was amazing. She received her degree in Social Work. Ashley was recognized as 1 of 3 students among 1000 for the many organizations that she has volunteered for, and the many service hours which she has donated throughout her schooling. Ashley also had faculty honors, and was a member honors society. I am so proud of you Ashley!!!

It was so fun to come to Washington and be here for Ashley's graduation, and spend some time with Ashley,Wendel, and Tyson. My parents came with me and it was fun showing them the sights of Seattle, visiting the Space Needle, Pikes Market Place, Lake Washington, and Kerry Park where we were able to look out on a beautiful view of Seattle. We also went to garage sales, saw Tyson's apartment and we ate at Anthony's where we had some wonderful seafood by the ocean. We also celebrated after the graduation with a wonderful meal of crab legs, pasta, fruit, and veggies cooked by Chell. The weather was beautiful, and it was my first time visiting when it didn't rain.

Overall it was a great trip and I am so glad I was able to be there for Ashley's graduation.

I am now an official blogger, thanks to Ashley. While in Washington for Ashley's graduation from college this weekend she set up a blog for me. I will talk more about the graduation later. These pictures are at Goblin Valley at our Herzog family reunion last weekend June 5 - 7. It was a lot of fun spending time with extended family. We camped at Green River Utah in the state park. The weather was beautiful, and the food was yummy!
