Hills. Bridges. Water.

Where else could we be?

Coit tower. Great Views.

Pier 39. Sea Lion entertainment.

Golden Gate Park.

Oh the sights!

Suspiciously sweet

When this one is sweet, he's really really sweet.

It usually lasts a few minutes.

And then he turns back into a normal boy. :)

Monkey children

Ooo-ooo!

EEE-eee!

Kitty camouflage

If not for those yellow eyes...

she could almost be mistaken for mulch.

Iowa skies

I love looking at the sky.

Every night, a new show!

Kids in action

Don't fall in, sis!

She's been a cool grandma all along.

And now she's a cool great-grandma, too.

Redbud

More spring!

Am I longing for spring?

Bluebellsssss

They're lovely!

I love spring!

(Is it fair to post that on the offical first day of summer?)

Grand Canyon

We got here at the right time of day...

ALMOST got to see the sunset.

Grand Canyon.

Go here.

8April2010

When you see a series of signs...

Pointing to DINOSAUR TRACKS

You have to stop.

We were highly entertained,

but we left wondering how much our legs had been pulled.

Monument Valley

Go here, too.

Four Corners Fail

So, we drive all the way to Four Corners (after skimping on time at Arches.)

And here's what we find.

BOOOO!

We stretched our turkey necks,

Engaged the zoom on our cameras,

And took a photo of what we THINK may be the monument.

Through the fence.

Arches National Park

Double Arch.

Delicate Arch.

Stray Arch.

(not in the park)

Arch-excited Kiwi.

Go here, too.

Bryce Canyon

We'd seen pictures.

It was cold.

I thought maybe this preview would do it for all of us!

But we soldiered on.

And were AWED.

Again.

Go there.

But if you want to hike, NOT in April.

(Anyone want to go back with me?)

6April2010

Zion National Park

Go there.

Words and pictures can't do justice.

6April2010

Vegas!

The view from the Las Vegas Hilton (our room, at least.)
The Bridges take us to see the Dam Bypass Bridge.

And we try to keep them from jumping off the restraining walls.
Unsuccesfully.

New Cousins

And their Dad.

He might have an influence on them.

Maybe.

2April2010

Name the show

Anyone?

I can recommend it...'twas a fun one to watch.

Duuude.

He's sometimes rude.

But not usually crude.

This dude.
