DC 2009

This year the Cardinal Health Retail Business Conference was held in DC. JoAnn and I went and left the kids home. We had a great trip. We did get to sight see some and took care of business as well. It was amazing to stand in some of the great historical sites and see them with our own eyes. The tomb of the unknown soldier was very awe inspiring. The Washington and Lincoln monuments are huge. We were able to see the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Constitution. They were in the National archives and they keep it dark to preserve the documents. No flash photography is allowed so the pics we took were hard to see. Cardinal reserved the Air and Space museum on night and so we had dinner and the whole place to ourselves. It was cool to see all that stuff in actual size.

Grand Canyon

We stayed at Jacob's Lake the first night.
We drove back to Kanab for Dinner and to kill some time.
The next day we went to the Grand Canyon, North Rim.
We took a mule trip down into the canyon and that is the only way to see the inside of the canyon. Those who hike down and back are crazy.
We went to several view points and went on a few easy hikes.
Dinner in the lodge was fun. We had a view of the canyon that made the bill almost seem worth it. Even Zane said "This was funner than I thought it would be" so, I guess we had a good trip.

Sadie

She is doing well and is taller than Charlie, but not as big.

Charlie

What color is he going to be?
We keep waiting and he keeps changing.
He is getting calmer all the time.
Laura keeps playing with him and so that helps.

Marysvale Utah

Randy Johnson put together a ride to show off the beauty of the Beaver mountians. We had a good day, nice weather and good company. It was great to spend the day with my Dad as well.

New babies

Misty(palimino) gave birth to a horse colt on May 15th at 5:30pm. Laura and her friend Kelsey were out in the yard when it happened and they saw the birth. They called me to come home quick, I was over to the neighbors, and see the new colt.

Then we waited and waited and waited some more for GoGo to have her baby. They were both due the same time but one went early and one late. GoGo finally had her baby on May 29th at about 11:00pm. I was out running kids to and from after school parties when we discovered the new filly. Both moms and colts are doing great. If you want to stop by and see them, I am more than happy to show them off.
