Artsy fartsy

Continueing with my explorations of Utah we visited the Utah Museum of Fine Art. Being that today was a rather gloomy day and we had already visited the Rack with Jeff getting a bit rain soaked an inside activity was sounding rather good. The artifacts from ancient pasts were eye catching. The hand beaded Indian works were a favorite along side the pop- up art work of Robert Sabuda.

New Blogger

I told myself I wouldn't ever post up on our blog, but there is a first time for everything. I have been easing into Utah life and have been keeping myself busy with skateboarding and school. I went up to Park City this weekend to skate and shoot some photo's. Here are a few from the weekend.

Can you keep a Secret?

I had been wanting to go on a hike expolring what the mountains of Utah have to offer. Not much was going on Monday so Jo, Ambs (and baby Andy) and I thought we would go on an adventure! We embarked on what was thought to be a short somewhat fast hike to Cecret Lake (pronounced Secret). The drive thru the canyon was gorgeous, the hike was a sweaty workout, the mountain air was refreshing. We made it to the top! Thanks to Jo carrying Andy on her shoulders up the steep slate rock. The water was chilly and we saw some tiny fish. We had a fun time!

Stroll thru the City

In an attempt to find an open restaurant for lunch in the heart of downtown much walking was required. The warm 100 degree tempetures kept us going at a nice pace. I snapped a few random photos as we strolled all around town. I enjoyed the old buildings, windows and signs in the city.

Farmers Market

The downtown Farmers Market is much larger than I expected, a variety of booths featuring local produce, herbs, flowers, spices, marinades, many spreads, fresh baked bread and pastries, and a ton of crafts. The produce is grown locally and very delicious. The people watching was entertaining; my favorite was the homeless man who broke a watermelon on the pavement, then offered it to passerbyers. There are many unique hand made items ranging from journals to note cards to skirts. What a great way to spend Saturday morning!

Happy Birthday JO!

Jo and I have been friends for many years. We have a ton of fun together no matter what we may be doing! Yesterday we spent the day enjoying SLC and good times with friends.

A favorite

Spot of mine. Since being in SLC I have often visited Temple Square. I enjoy feeling the peace, people watching, talking to people from around the globe, watching movies, and smelling the beautiful flowers all around.
