Summer Happenings

Whew....I just got done uploading 392 pictures from my trip to Shutterfly.   Now I need to figure out which of those get shared here, but until then I thought I would do a very quick recap of my Summer up until the time I left on my trip.

These pictures are out of order also, sorry.   I wish Blogger had an easier way of managing pictures, but they don't, and I don't have enough time to monkey with them.  



I drove into California and my car registered 105 degrees.  I drove out in a torrential rain pour and my car registered 41 degrees (scroll down for pictoral proof of 41 degrees).   How's that for some extremes?   


On my way I decided to stop at Donner State Park.  It was so beatiful, that I had to take a little hike/walk around the nature trail.





Did you know that Walt Disney was the Chairman of Pageantry for the Winter Olympics held in Squaw Valley?  I didn't.   But this flag pole has taught me otherwise.   You just never know where you will find a little gem of knowledge.


This monument stands 200 feet tall (I think) and represents how high the snow was during that fateful winter.


Ahh, here it is.


I spent some time with my favorite girls.

Kylie Chillin.


Delaney dressed up. 



3 Cowgirls.  Yee haw.   I like the rakish angle that Kylie has chosen for her hat.


I finally learned the name of this sculpture in the Salt Flats.  It is not the Tree of Life as previously thought, but it is actually called - Metaphor: The Tree of Utah.  Yah I don't know either.  It is a bad metaphor if no one gets it...I am guessing.


My dear, dear friend Jenny got married.   Isn't she so pretty?


I attended my beloved Highland games.



I went to a few concerts.  

Keane


The Shins


I saw some baby ducks.


And a pretty tree.



The end!


(soon to be followed by too many pictures of Denmark and Sweden, rest up)
