Finally, an Update

April 16, 2009

I have been doing most of my posting on Facebook since I can more easily figure out how to post pictures, but I’m going to give this another shot and see what happens!

First I want to post one of my favorite pictures of Pam and Andi.  They’re acting.  Andi likes to be a fairy princess.  She say’s her lines then taps Pam on the head and Pam responds with her lines, concluding with a ‘thank you, thank you thank you!’  andiacting

In February we went to Jay’s Convention in Las Vegas.  On our way down we stopped in St. George, Utah (Jay had business and we did some riding).  Here are some pictures from Snow Canyon in St. George…snowcanyon

One of the cool things about Snow Canyon is the view you can get of an old lava flow. lavaflo

And in this one you can see a lava layer in the sediment.  lavatops

Here’s my ridin’ guy : >  ridingguy

The next day we went on a different ride.  We think it was called Black Hill.  We went out to some petroglyphs and back.  It was really cool to see.

And lastly me…   In the above photo, we have NO idea who Zeno is… sheeeeesh.  lynneglyphs

We continued our journey to Las Vegas for Jay’s work conference.  I got to do a little site seeing.  The first full day there I took a tour of Hoover Dam.  Here’s Lake Mead. lakemead

Then next few days I did some bike riding.   I just checked out bootleg canyon.  It was a little more technical than I was prepared to ride that day.  I did go out on some of the easy trails. bootleg

After this ride I went out to check out a trail that goes from Henderson to Lake Mead.  Unfortunately it’s not complete yet and the demarkations on the trail don’t clearly indicate the alternative travel paths, so I got lost and ended up just back tracking.  It was a nice long ride, but not as overall picturesque as I was imagining.  stripfrombike

That is the Vegas ‘Strip’ from the bike trail.

After our week in Vegas, I headed off to Arizona to go to Sedona for 2 weeks.  Jay came down and met me on the last day and from there we headed to Colorado.  On our way out, we stopped at ‘Meteor Crater’ in Arizona.  Neither one of us had ever been there, though I have driven passed it several times.  And the thing that made it really fun and special, it was our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!  So this is our 1st anniversary picture : > 1st-anniversary

And finally… in the meantime, Silver has decided he loves Jay!  silverlovesj

So that’s it for this post.  I’ll do my Easter post in a day or two : >
