Breakfast at Grandmas


I went to Denver this week for a meeting. It is rare that I go there. And in fact, I think I've only been there on business twice in the last 8 years. But, I visited my parents and my wife's grandmother.

My wife's grandmother is a real good cook. She can do just about anything with a cast iron skillet. I had breakfast at her house and was full until dinner.

BYU Football


I wrote last week about going to Utah with my son. Here is another post about that trip.

We arrived in Salt Lake and drove down to my alma mater, BYU. Once we were there, we headed for the bookstore. My son wanted a sweatshirt and my daughters wanted me to buy them some "cinnamon bears".

Then, we walked around campus. I was surprised how it had changed but was still familiar.

The next day, we went to the football game. We had seats on the top row of the north end zone section. Even from up there, the game was great to watch. BYU won, our faces got a little sunburned, and we sang the Cougar Fight Song.

Utah Canyons


I took my son to Utah for the weekend. We went to visit my brothers, go to a BYU Football game, and see the mountains.

After arriving at my brother's home, he offered to take us to a nearby canyon for a quick hike. I couldn't believe that the start of the hike was only 5 minutes away.

We started up the trail and came across this small glade of trees.


A little further down the path, we crossed a small bridge.


And finally came to a rushing waterfall.

It was a little cold to stand under the water, but maybe someday we'll go there in the summer and swim.
