Northern Utah!

We got to visit the Clark Family before Taylor left to the MTC on July 13th. It was a good visit.

Taylor had a cello recital Thursday night.


He got to play at the St. John's Episcopal Church as long as he played prelude for one of their Sunday services.

Here's his student. He did a great job!


Friday night we went to the Russian opera that Mom got to be in, 'Boris Godunov.' Scott's 1st opera ever!




Friday we went hiking up Logan Canyon to see the Temple Fork Sawmill.


Look at the greenery!!! I almost forgot what that looks like:)

Old Ephraim's grave (the largest and last grizzly bear to be in Utah)


Taylor's last weekend before the MTC






Good luck in the MTC and then in Japan TayLOR!!

Colossal Cave

This was pretty fun...we went on a tour of this 'dormant' cave, meaning it didn't look all that cool, but it had some fun history and was fun to explore. Outlaws and Indians were visitors here back in the day:)

The nice tour guide did a great job of taking our pic while we were both looking...



During the Great Depression, the CCC worked here to make trails and put in lights.

Biosphere 2 (Biosphere 1 is the Earth)

So we're trying to do all the things around Tucson because we have a 2/1 discount (for most things). This was one of them.

8 people lived in this for 2 years and grew their own food and everything under controlled environments--pretty wild.




The Ocean

The Rain Forest

The Desert
Pretty cool, but definitely a one-time thing...

Gross!

This was outside our front door. I don't need any more motivation to go spray for bugs than that!

Quick Stop On The Way Home: Redlands Temple

This temple was on our way home, so we made a quick stop for some pics. It was very pretty.





Soon after we passed tons of windmills...crazy!
