You know how you mean to do something, but then time gets away from you and then suddenly it’s a month later and that thing you meant to do still hasn’t been done? Yeah, that’s this blog and me. Over the next few days/weeks, I will attempt to catch up on all the happenings around here. Most likely I will forget to include information, but you’ll never know about it, will you? Here we go!
Ahh….That relaxing time when you don’t have to follow any set schedules. I have just come back from about a three-week vacation, and it was delightful! The first week I just hung out at the house, getting ready for the main vacation, the second week was the main vacation, and the final week was recouping from all the vacationing. Having all that time off made it very difficult to get back to the real world of working.
Our main vacation was with Dad’s side of the family, up a mountainside in Blanding, UT. There were about 20+ of us there for the week. It was kind of a job in and of itself in order to get to the lodge, but it was well worth it. The lodge was situated next to its own pond, and there were trees all around us.
Deer around the lodge were either very stupid or totally used to people being around because you could get fairly close to them, speaking in a loud voice and they would just stand there and look at you before they resumed eating.
Some of us vacationers even heard a bear rumbling in the distance on a couple different occasions. Bears freak me out, FYI. They are one of the main reasons I don’t like to go camping. I have this fear that a bear will come into the campsite and just ravage everything and kill everyone. A few years back I was camping and I went out to use the *ahem* facilities and totally froze in fear at what I thought was a mama bear and two cubs coming toward me in the distance. I finished up right quick and dove back into the tent (because bears cannot penetrate nylon, right?) and spent the rest of the night quaking in fear. In the morning hours I was relieved to find out that the scary bear trio was in reality three bushes. Stupid night vision.
Anyway, I’m glad I did not see any bears.
Some folks did some fishing, but as it was strictly catch and release, there was not too much fun to be had in that. The kids loved the paddle boats and swimming was a good time until it was discovered there were leeches in the pond. That curbed me of my desire to go back in, but the kids still went swimming some more.

A few of us decided to go to Four Corners Monument. That’s the exact point where four states all touch. In all honesty, I was pretty disappointed. First, you had to pay $5 for each person in the car. You heard me, $5 PER PERSON. I can see $5 per car, but per person?! You park in a dusty parking area, the sun is beating down on you, and you walk to the site. Surrounding the area are four lines of open-air buildings where the Navajo people have set up items and food for sale. You have to wait in line to see the monument, which is a seal on the ground. We probably only waited maybe a half-hour , but under the blazing sun it sure felt longer. Poor Ezra was sitting on the ground making sure he was sitting in my shadow to try and get cooler. We finally made it to the seal and took some photos, and then I was ready to get back in the car. It was frickin’ hot outside! I guess I’m glad I made the trek there, but it’s definitely not something I want to do again. If I remember correctly, it was the 4th of July, so maybe it’s not usually that busy. Don’t go there on holidays.
We were lucky that our area didn’t have any fire warnings, so we were able to shoot off fireworks on July 4th. Once we got back to the lodge and it became dusk, we started with the sparklers. The kids all loved the sparklers, and Ezra was entranced. The California crew brought some neat large fireworks that we ooh’d and ahh’d over.
Ezra had so much fun playing with his cousins, and his cousins were all amazing with him. They took charge of him, and played games with him, included him in a lot of there shenanigans, it was great! Seriously some fantastic kids, I’m glad I’m related to them.
It was a sad day for all when it came time to pack up and leave, but hopefully we will be able to see everyone again next year for the annual gathering.
