I caught this guy right as it got dark. I tried and tried, but it wouldn't stay still
for its photo op., so I put him back in the water and made the 1/2 hour walk back to my truck in the dark with a dim headlamp.
I stayed at Mom and Dad's that night. When I woke up, I had the wonderful opportunity to experience a Jan & Marg vacation by washing the exterior windows of the house. They treated me to lunch at Tsing Tao. Jan stole most of Marg's shrimp and got a good scolding. He then continued his raid by stealing mom and my fried rice.
Katy came up the day before with her mom and sister and went to Ikea and got some baby stuff. I met Katy and the Fetzers at the condo in Deer Valley. We headed to the pool and then we played a game of hearts; Five way with all the queens. We only got thru one set of passes. But I won with an easy lead.
The next day, Katy, Sam, Jake, and I went to Park City Mountain Resort and the boys and I went down the alpine slide
and the alpine coaster. The alpine coaster was a blast!!!
That night we attended Katy's Cousin's wedding reception at the Red Pines Lodge at the top of the Gondola at The Canyons. I had been up on this mountain over a 100 times during the winter when I had a season pass two years and from working the winter of 2002 as a lifty. It looks a lot different in the summer.
Mary and I got into a photography war on the way up the Gondola.
This is the view from the gondola half way up. I always loved to here the tourists gasp as we crossed this ravine during the winter. It's even further down without the snow!
Katy looks lovely in her Prego-nut dress.
The next day, we went to the "Pine's Ranch" cabin outside of Oakley, UT and enjoyed the outdoors. I fished the Smith Morehouse that runs behind the cabin. This stream has always eluded me. But I finally caught a fair amount of fish!
I love how beautiful Brook Trout are. I only caught three of these guys, this one was the biggest. The rest of the trout were Cutthroats. It was a great day. We ended the night playing "Wizard" around the table at the Deer Valley Condo. I loss by five points to Jake. But a close second ain't bad.
We were sad to have to leave Deer Valley. But at least we got to stay the whole time, which was a first. I headed to Sandy early Monday morning to take the Bachelors SSW exam. I finished the 170 question test in a little over two hours and passed with an 82%. I was worried if I would pass, but once I got into the test, it went smooth.
We headed to Payson after a quick stop to Barbaccoa for lunch and Babies R Us for some baby goodies. That night, we had a family baby shower and Katy and I got even more baby stuff. Everything we got that night, we needed. It was great. Thank-you so much for all your generosity. Katy, Connor, and I truly appreciate it.
We went to "License to Wed" that night, which turned out to be a cheesy, sappy movie.
The Family visited Tsing Tao again, and Jan kept his sticky fingers holstered. The next morning, Katy and I baked in the sun on the drive back to Cedar City. We spent the rest of the day in front of the cooler in the living room, trying to recover from the drive.
