Valley of the Goblins

On the drive home from UT Jake and I decided to do some sightseeing. I'm usually too anxious to get to UT on our drives up, and too tired on the drives home to stop and look at anything. So we put Goblin Valley into our official plans so I couldn't make any excuses.
If you've never been you must GO! It's basically this huge valley with tons of cool rocks worn down by an ancient ocean. There is a lot to explore and fun shapes to discover.

Can you see the gorilla?

Find the Ninja Turtle Head

Jake found a Geocash thing! Haha at first I thought it was a snake trap or something, but Jake thought it was a treasure chest and he was right! Don't worry we put it back just as we found it.

Oh boys. :)

Ok this was probably the scariest driving experience of my life. After Goblin Valley we came across this road (if you can even call it a road). As we rounded the corner onto this cliff there was a barrier with spray paint that read "Welcome to Hell Town" and there was a crow sitting right above it. How's that for creepy? This road had NO railings and it was DIRT. I was seriously driving 5 mph. Jake asked if I wanted him to drive but I knew he would drive over 5 mph and I would have a panic attack. Seriously how anyone can deem this road passable is beyond me. Needless to say we will never be driving that way again.

Zaugg Reunion 2010

I'm sorry it's been so long since I posted anything! My computer died, taking photoshop with it so I haven't been very motivated to post pictures. There are just so many that I love from this trip and since I lost my montage program be prepared for an onslaught of pictures!

This was the first night. It was also my grandparents anniversary (I can't remember which anniversary, but they're both over 90 so it was probably their 70th) This was great because I got to see cousins I haven't seen in YEARS! Like my cousin Sabrina from Canada and my cousins in AZ (who live right done the street yet I never see them!) And most of them have never met Jake so it was nice.

And of course Emery is always a highlight so there are plenty of pictures of her :)

Sydney, Carson, cousins Katie, Mindy, and Jake. Me and Dad! See those cow shirts? I designed those!! There's this rusty old Zaugg Dairy sign that I cleaned up and added the words and stuff.
This was probably the most exciting thing we did all weekend. Night Ultimate Frisbee! SO FUN!! We taped some glow sticks onto a frisbee and then we all wore some on our wrists. Half way through the game the sprinklers turned on but that just made it more fun!! My cousin Mindy was a superstar, I'm pretty sure she scored all of our points. I think we're going to make it a Zaugg reunion tradition.

I can't even tell you what a JOY is was to be OUTSIDE!!! I miss bearable summers so much. I loved being able to eat outside, and play games without getting heat stroke.

I love my family! And COLOR!

I love this little girl! This is my cousin's daughter, Alora. My cousin has always been a Disney princess fanatic (hence the name Alora, similar to Aurora aka Sleeping Beauty) and has obviously taught her daughter well! I got this AMAZING Art of the Disney Princesses book from my brother Taylor, it just has a bunch of gorgeous pictures of different artists' interpretations of the princesses. Some of them are hard to recognize at first but Alora knew them! So cute.
