Hiking "The Gap"

It was a beautiful sunny day here on Saturday. The temperature was in the low 60's, so we decided to go hiking. Scott's family was down for a quick trip (he came to fix our alignment machine computer at work, but that is another story), and Brad had flown that morning and found a new trailhead we hadn't been to yet, so we went. It was about a mile from our house. I was surprised how well the little grandkids did. They were running up the mountain. When we stopped at the top, I was a little (okay..a LOT) freaked out that the kids were going to run and fall off the edge of the cliffs, but they were fine. Brad and Scott of course had to jump amd pretend to fall and give me a heart attack, but we made it. I even climbed onto a high rock formation to get a picture with Doug, I , and all the grandkids. (Sam was the only one not here.) The red cliffs against the blue sky was just awesome. We live in such a beautiful area.

Chinese New Year

This is the "Year of the Ox". Tonya and Kevin were in Vegas 2 weeks ago, and so we drove and spent one day with them. It was fun going in all the larger casinos and seeing how they were decorated for the Chinese New Year. They were staying at the Paris, and had a great view of the fountains at the Bellagio. I can't wait until I am really in China getting Danica, but for now this will have to do....
