So Grandma Downard has a HUGE collection of these 8" dolls---somewhere between 1500 and 2000 of them! Oh but everyone is super cute and everytime I looked at them I found a new one I hadn't noticed before. Robyn and Becky spent most of their time organizing and rearranging the dolls. Grandma Downard got these new shelves to display all of them so they have been working on grouping them. Here are just a few pics.
On March 19th the moon was suppose to be 14% larger and 30% brighter than it has ever been in 19 years. I thought it was pretty neat and was looking forward to seeing it. I even looked up the time of the moonrise in Moab--8:06 p.m.--thanks to my new phone (droidx) I am able to look up fun facts whenever I feel the need :). Come Saturday night, it is cloudy! and we never got to see the moon! A dozen of us took a break from playing cards and stood outside in the wind for half an hour to see nothing ha ha. We could tell it was brighter even though we couldn't see it.
Now for all the pictures of Arches National Park! Oh I just love all these pics and couldn't not share a small portion of them with you :) Balanced Rock...
Kyler, Dewey, and Me
Lincoln humored me and took the picture as if he was holding it.
I believe this is the Organ
Tower of Babel
Three Gossips
Our late engagement picture in Moab :)
Park Avenue Viewpoint
Sheep Rock
Some of the mountains where green and we saw a lot of signs that said "don't step on me, I'm alive"
The Boys
Cove Arch
Lincoln and I standing in North Window
Lincoln with North Window Arch above him
Kyler on the left and Dewey on the right with his arms held out. This was by North Window. I think the boys had fun climbing around.
South Window
This picture is really neat. Can you blame someone for thinking this place is gorgeous!
Aah and our first siting of Delicate Arch! We just went to the viewpoints this time but next time we are going to hike up to it so we can get really close pictures! It is still really amazing even from afar.
The boys found this rock and thought it looked cool to take pictures around. They look like turtles :)
That is the end of the pics. Hope you enjoyed!Some highlights of the trip...
- First night--ate at the Diner with Grandma and Grandpa Downard, Becky, Dewey, Lincoln, Kyler, Me, Robyn, Stacy & Joe & kids.
- Walked the shops on mainstreet after dinner. Lincoln bought me three pairs of earings (one pair is actual sterling silver and topaz! love them!), a ring, and nail polish that changes colors in the sun--green to purple.
- Played Cards at Stacy and Joe's house
- Visited Joe's gas station on I-70 where we got free jerky and our picture on the wall :)
- Slept in a house with two cats, took benedryl every night in order to stop sneezing. Oh but those kitties were so cute!
- Grandpa Downard made us breakfast both days!
- and after 22 years of living in Utah, I finally saw, went to, and enjoyed Moab!
