A few of us went over to Cedar Breaks to see about the Wildflower Festival. While there I tried to get some pics of Lucas with the flowers. He, however, was playing "I'm shy," and thus I did not get the cute smile that he usually exhibits.
Tlhe day that we trouped over there for the Festival-it rained! No pictures that day.

One day it was a bit breezy and Clell suggested we trek down to the lake and try flying kites. It looked like everyone was enjoying the activity.

The "big boys", Nannette and Grandpa rode down Bryce Canyon on mules or horses-whichever they were assigned.






Grandpa and the others were not smiling that much after the ride for a couple of days.

Meanwhile Nate, Ellie and I walked around admiring the red rocks and stumbled up 'King" being given new shoes. We had an interesting interview with the shoer. In answer to one question he asked Nate if he wanted to try to hold up the horse's leg. Nate and Ellie agreed it was a heavy leg to hold up while, cutting off some of the hood, filing the hoof and trying to nail the shoe on.

This was before the rain at Cedar Breaks.

The Frost Group

We were excited to have The Frost Group visit for a few days. Clell and his family came up to visit for part of that time. Tam et al were going to come, and we missed not seeing them also.
One night we went bowling and everyone seemed to be more interested in the funny names each was given than the actual bowling.
I think the rules have changed and now you can either throw it down the lane or drop it behind you. ( It just looks like too much effort for me.)
Nannette brought a special puzzle and after making worry dolls one day, the dolls visited Las Vegas via the puzzle.  Yes that is grandpa in the suspenders. I'm sure you can figure out the other family members. There are friends included also.
Af
ter Granpa, Lucas, Nate and Joe left we found the volcanic pit and took pictures to prove that we did actually find it. You can tell that Nannette was brown nosing someone.
Since the bigger boys were going down Bryce Canyon the little ones got to ride horses at Panguitch Lake. They were not old enough for the Bryce ride.



Juliana's horse was the tallest and at first she was a bit intimidated. She didn't cry or complain and everyone seemed to have a great time once we got started.
