And…this is what happens when your niece and nephews get a hold of your camera…
"Life is good, if we live in such a way to make it so.' . . . 'A good life' comes as a result of the way we do things, of the words we choose to say, and even of the kind of thoughts we choose to have... 'Wanting to' is the determining factor which leads us to lay hold upon the word of God and be happy. Perseverance in making correct decisions is what leads us to happiness." ~"True Happiness: A Conscious Decision," Ensign, Nov. 2005, 31~BenjamÃn De Hoyos
So while my dad was here a few weeks back. I left my camera at my brother’s house where he was staying. So he took it to Jayna and Kaitlyn’s gymnastic practice.
Jayna was convinced dad ‘grandpa’ was coming into town just for her birthday. The original plan was that her was going to fly in and take Christian and David camping but soon found out camping gear was a no go. So, Jayna decided to celebrate her birthday at the lake. Dad rented kayak's which he got a great deal on. He rented them for one day Tuesday and ended getting them for 2 of the price of one day because the places was closed on Wednesday. We had hobo dinners and S’mores!!!
Grandpa Time is Great!
The best meal will at the Lake!
This is how Pulsipher’s eat S’mores!!
I didn’t get a chance to do any work here at the Vernal Temple but I drove by to take a picture
A thunderstorm that was forming behind me
A view of the mountain from a rest area I stopped at to use the restroom
Do you see the mountain peak in the background?
Okay so tomorrow is 2 days later! I made it to Craigs, CO late Friday, July 30th and shared a hotel room with Tiffany. The next morning was wedding day! We got up at 6:30am to arrive at the wedding site at 7:30 on Saturday, July 31ts. when we went down to check out and ask if we could spilt the hotel bill somehow. The ladies said sure but weren’t sure how to do it. They ended up just sending us on are way and they would call us with any question. We didn’t leave till 7:20am and it took 15 mins to get there. We were 5-10 mins late and the first ones there!!! When everyone got there we set up, got ready at about 9:30am and the wedding was at 10:30am at Yampa Campsite with a reception right after in the pavilion Then we just relaxed, played horse shoes, volleyball and put are feet in the river. That night camped and then packed up and went are separate ways.

I flew into Salt Lake City Airport Friday, July 30th and stopped at Bethany’s to relax for a few hours before I head out on my 5-6 hour road trip to Craigs, CO for my best friend Tanya’s wedding. My trip there ended up being about 7 hours because I had to stop and capture the scenery and sunset.
My first view area was Strawberry Lake
Found this gorgeous farm house in a little valley
Starvation Lake
When I turned around to face the road I got the sunset!

More tomorrow!!
