Christmas Morning 2006

Journaling:
The first thing we do on Christmas morning is go to Jenny and john's to see the kids wake up and discover Santa has been to their house. There's nothing better than seeing the excited looks on their faces and watch the joy they express for each new thing they see.

Antelope Island

Journaling:
Mom, Dad, and Katie came to visit me in Layton. During their visit we went out to Antelope Island. Katie elected to stay at my apartment and sleep in. I had no idea the island was as big as it is. We came across a few painted buffalo that we had to stop and take pictures of. Back in 2002, the Wasatch Front was covered with these buffalo, and we drove all over Salt Lake getting pictures taken with them. Our goal was to see them all, but we didn’t have time. It was fun to remember those buffalo and add a few more buffalo to our list. I think the buffalo to the left wasn’t part of the original “Utah Buffalo Roundup”, but it’s close enough, so we still got a picture of it. “The Hand of Man Buffalo” signifies the buffalo’s role in providing for men. The red handprints signify the buffalos near extinction, and three turquoise handprints signify the hand of man in bringing back the buffalo.

Family BBQ

Journaling:
John, Wendy, Melissa, and Courtney Manwaring came out from Ohio to take Melissa to school. She is attending BYU for her first semester this year. The Manwarings storpped in Vernal for a few days to visit the Weber side of the family. Many other family members also traveled from around Utah for the visit. We had a big bar-b-que during the visit, and everyone had a great time catching up.

Bridal Veil Falls

Journaling:
We left early on the 5th so Sarah could go to class. After her class we drove down Provo Canyon to Bridal Veil Falls. It has been years since I visited the falls and it was a lot of fun to explore the area again.
