Closed out an amazing July with Handel’s and some peach ice cream.

Highlights of our trip - Eating at the cute little deli in Helper. Seeing Brandy and chatting with her at dinner. Rafting Westwater Canyon (my favorite thing). Swimming in the Colorado River after the rapids were done (glad Patty insisted on this). Playing in and around Faux Falls on a hot afternoon. A little Main Street Moab exploring. Seeing all the slick rock on the east side of town. Watching a movie (80 for Brady) while playing SkyJo (even though they don’t play Draper rules). Making friends on our raft with a couple from Virginia. Being with my friends and enjoying their company while making more memories.

Ride the Razor, Faux Falls, dinner, Moab Main Street, ice cream (language barrier in getting our banana split order right), movie, games. Why not by matching sweatshirts when it's 105 degrees?

It was time to play our Snow getaway with Patty, Mary Ellen, and Tara.  This year we went bigger and  played in Moab to initiate us all into the 50 year old club. It has also been 30 years since we graduated from Snow College and 32 years since we met.

With a day off and my dad’s birthday tomorrow I visited my parents. My dad said his birthday is next year. :). Drove through the grasshoppers. It wouldn’t be a trip to Richfield in the summer without coming home with grasshoppers on the car.

Darren set off on his backpacking trip and the girls are living it up in NYC. Baylie and I are hanging out in the heat.

Fly home day.  Calculated that we hiked just over 50 miles and 11,000 feet elevation gain.  What an amazing vacation!  We saw lots of cool stuff and yet have so much more to explore.
