Snapshots of 2014

Here's some places and people we've seen in 2014.  Most notable so far has been the visits with all the kids while they've been able to come and go during these busy times in their lives.  With school, work and kids we've treasured our time we've had to be together.  Most recently was an extended visit from Kevin, Jeni, Emery and baby.  They were able to go on a wonderful hike on Desolation Trail, up Big Cottonwood and down into Millcreek.  Simply stunning views.
 A nice vantage half-way up Big looking south towards Lake Blanche
 We hike down around the right side of this cliff.  Facing east
 The girls enjoyed face-painting at our work zoo party.  It's sure nice of them to do this.
 Did you notice the 'do not climb' sign.  Yeah right.
 Just as they were about to leave, Faye discovered the wet globe.  I can't tell if she's 'having a ball' or getting into mischief.
 Emory took a liking to the baby giraffe.
Eve sure enjoyed uncle Kevin's play.
 This is one of my Faye favs.
 She's pretty shy for the first few minutes until warming up.
 I miss this guy!  This is probably the only time he's looked somewhat mad.
 Ready for the pool.
 Good times at the pool in Williams the two water babe(s/ies).
 It's tough to capture the expanse here.  One wrong step and it's Sayonara
 The inverted hike down to the spring was a piece of cake.  But after the air warmed up, and hiking uphill, we (I) were a little exhausted
 After G.C. we made a stop in St. George.  Here's a cutie ready for a dip
 Just the right depth.
 A blustery day made the lighting just perfect with the red rock of Snow Canyon
Hanging out with everyone.  So nice, yet getting rarer and rarer.
