Saturday in Moab

On Saturday, Scott and RaNae flew us down to Moab for a day of jeeping, with a little car show thrown in. We left Bountiful about 9am and were jeeping by 10:30. Here's the jeep:



After seeing Blond Dog and Zelda at the car show, we drove up to Hurrah Pass, which is where this shot was taken:



Then we headed over to the other side of the river and took the Potash Road over to Shafer trail and up to Dead Horse Point. The road was good, but steep and narrow:




It led to over looks like this:



Bouncing around in a Jeep all day, but still smiling. What a trooper.




Thanks to Auntie 'Nae and Uncle Scott for the pictures, but especially for the flight down and awesome, awesome day.

Owen discovers Gelato

One of our favorite things about Italy was the availability of gelato on every corner. Owen learned to like it very quickly. If he saw somebody walking down the street with a cone, he'd start grunting and letting us know he was ready for more gelato...hey, we couldn't disappoint the kid, right?

Owen's first overseas trip

Kelly, Owen, Anne and I flew to Italy in April. Owen was a real trooper on all the flights, train rides and taxi rides we put him through. Here's Owen in the train station in Rome:

Owen rides his first calf

While we were in South Dakota in early April, Grandpa Tim helped Owen onto the back of his first calf. From what I heard, Owen didn't make the whistle, but he spurred hard. Somebody's going to have to buy the kid some gloves though, pink mittens aren't allowed in the PBR.

Casper, WY

Owen made another trip across Wyoming to the vacation hotspot of western SD. Blizzard conditions and closed roads in WY kept us in UT for a couple extra days, but when we made it to Casper, we went swimming in the hotel pool.
