Our Trip to Utah!!!

We went to Utah for Grandma Johnson's birthday. She turned 80 this year so they threw her a big party. We took lots of neat pictures along the way.

We even saw snow....lots and lots of it. David always seemed to want to eat it. So while driving though Wyoming he stopped and had a handful.

The mountains were gorgeous!! I love the look of them when they still have snow on the peaks. Never get sick of seing that.

This is us going down Parley's Canyon. I didin't think Dacid was going to make it there for a while. He kept saying that his head was going to exploed from all the pressure. It is a very steep canyone if you're not used to it. Let's just say I think it was a good thing that I was driving!!

This is the Great Salt Lake. If anyone has ever seen it before, you'll know that it is not one of it's best days. It was kind of cloudy and hard to see it. But it really is a big lake. Some days it is really cool to look at.

This is Charlie, Libby, and Keaton. They are all Sharie's Kids (don't know how to spell her name). We had the opportunity to go horse back riding. David decided to keep his feet planted firmly on the ground!!

Uncle Erb took us for a ride up the canyon. We went all the way to the top to look at Kenakot Copper. The world's largest copper mine. Gets bigger and bigger every time I see it!!

Would you look at that?? David with some more snow!! Now he can say he also ate some Utah snow!!

The guys studying the landscape.

Would you look at that?? Cowboys really do exist!! I think there will always be one in this family. Just seems to get passed down from generation to generation. So who ever said there were no more cowboys was obviously wrong. They never met Uncle Erb!!

We started our journey back home and David passed out!

We crossed the Continental Divide so many times. This is just one of the times. I don't have a picture of it but at this point, once again, David ate more snow. So add Colorado to the list!!

We went to Rocky Mountain National Park. That was definifely one of the coolest places on earth to go there. Strongly recommend going there sometime.

There were lots of Elk there.

This was one of the many snow run offs that we can acrossed. Cool looking!!

We acually climbed up this high. That was a work out. I didn't think I was going to make it. I felt like there was no air up there. They said it is equivalent to the Artic Tundra. Pretty cool.

One of our final stops was The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument in Kearny, Nebraska. That was cool to see how they traveled the Oregon and Mormon Trails. Learned a lot there too. Recommend going there also!!

This should do for awhile. I will be getting more pictures from the trip thsi weekend and will probably post more later. There is our trip in a nut shell.
