Waterfall Canyon Trail

Hardly anyone works on a Friday, including me, so yesterday I went on the Waterfall Canyon hike with family.

Antelope Island Balloon and Kite Stampede

Last Saturday morning Jill and I drove the 21 miles to attend the Antelope Island Balloon and Kite Stampede. However, uncooperative winds dictated that no hot air balloons would launch that day.

Overnight at Echo Island Ranch Camperworld

Last weekend found us at Echo Island Ranch Camperworld. Jill’s sister, Susan, invited us to stay over Friday night at the camp ground.

Jake Skydives in Ogden

The instructor pulled the ripcord and we quickly jerked to a slow fall. After a few seconds he gave me the ropes and showed me how to control the chute. It was a blast going left then right and diving — I could even feel some G’s as I make the chute turn as tight as possible.

Bryson Crawls to First Place at Davis County Fair

Friday found me at the Davis County Fair with my two grandchildren Bryson and Aurora. Adelaide entered Aurora in the baby contest as did Sarah with Bryson. No winners there.

Willard Bay Wakeboarding

On Friday, my brother Scott took some extended family members boating at Willard Bay.

Snowmobiling at Mantua, Utah

On New Years Day Jill went with some of her family to Mantua to snowmobile. She knows Mantua well for it is only four miles from Brigham City where she grew up. Her father still lives in Brigham City. The few times that I have been snowmobiling I usually manage to get stuck. Which is just what Jill did this time out.

The Scarlet Pimpernel at Davis High

The “League of the Scarlet Pimpernel”, made up of 19 English aristocrats, are rescuing their French counterparts from execution. The Scarlet Pimpernel, their leader, takes his nickname from the drawing of a small red flower with which he signs his messages.

Real Salt Lake v. New York Red Bulls

As we neared the stadium we followed ten other people as they cut through a private parking lot. We walked along a dirt trail and came to a stream. It looked like we might have to try to jump over it but it turned out to be dry. We clambered down the bank in the dark and up the other side. Before us now was a eight foot high rickety chain link fence with barbed wire on top.

Pot Luck Dinner and The Beaux’ Stratagem

I waited a long time to direct this play. The time period, the early 1700s, is a particular interest of mine for many reasons, not the least of which is the central position of the theater in London society.
