Mini Vacation - Capitol Reef

Richard took off Friday from work and we went and visited Capitol Reef National Park. We took the younger two kids.The older two had work.

Here are some of the petroglyphs or rock art.

It was beautiful to visit, but would be better in cooler weather. 

One of several deer we say. We saw a deer standing on hind legs and eating some apricots. We missed getting picture though.

It was close to 100 degrees, so we did a very short (under 1/4 mile walk). Although too hot for Tanya, she still ended up with mild heat exhaustion, even with a cooling vest and plenty of water.

Jared walking.

Some pretty yellow wild flowers.

We drove over Boulder Mountain on way to family reunion.  It was at least 20 degrees cooler, but it didn't last very long.

Heart Rag Quilt

Tanya quit her job about 3 weeks ago to be a stay at home mom.  She has been sick almost every days since.  She gave up the other day on taking pictures for her self of the stack of rag quilts that we have finished over the last month so she sent Rebecca our 17 year old daughter out to take them.  She did not take the time to make picture as nice as Tanya would have but it is a start.

This rag quilt has two heart prints and pale pink fabric.

The back is a gray tie dye.
