Eric and Crystal in Utah



Eric and Crystal (Jim's brother and sister) came to visit us in mid October. We tried to pack as much fun as possible into the two full days they had in the Rocky Mountains...

First goal was to get Crystal a rock from the Rocky Mountains (this is an actual hobby called "rockhounding"). We went to Sundance and found that the lift to the top was closed for the season, but still enjoyed roaming around the base area.







Second stop was Hee Haw's Corn Maze for a contest in navigational skills.


Before the race began...


Inside the maze is a giant hay bale slide:

Jack, as he watched the crazy slide antics:






Once out of the maze, Jack and Crystal played in the "Corn-Box":


Jack felt compelled to shove as many kernels as possible in his mouth, despite repeated attempts to persuade him against the idea.




Events Not pictured: Jim and Crystal in a Dance, Dance, Revolution show down at the the nicklecade. (Guess who won?? ...it wasn't Crystal...) Jack forcing through his first upper tooth! Lots of wee morning hours required for that one!

Finally, the morning they had to leave, Eric and Crystal awoke to a winter wonderland...


Come back soon!!
