A Suburban American 4th of July

 We have been enjoying the past year in the US, and thanks to Coronavirus, we've also been enjoying a lot of time as a family. A few days before the 4th we took off work mid-week to enjoy Pineview Reservoir on a less crowded day.  Our plan worked out great!

 
 
On the actual 4th of July, there was a small parade of first responders that drove right down our street.  We had fun sitting out in the driveway and cheering for our local fire, ambulance, and police forces.

 
Then we walked down the block to a neighbor who was selling sno-cones.
 
 
We also spent some time relaxing in the backyard and playing corn hole.

 
And finally, we roasted some s'smores before lighting a few sparklers and small fireworks.  Some of our neighbors set off much larger fireworks which we also got to see after dark.
 

It was the definition of a low-key celebration, but we really loved being able to celebrate the 4th at home this year.

November Road Trip Part 2: LaLaLand

Image
We had a day where we were switching hotels and we decided to make the most of it by walking around part of Hollywood and then going to the beach.    The TCL Chinese Theater was about 1/2 mile from our hotel, so we walked over first thing in the morning.  These pictures only show the touristy spots we visited, but walking down Sunset Boulevard on a Tuesday morning was a whole education in itself.  There were many homeless people, the streets were filthy (like disgustingly so,) and some people obviously under the influence of drugs along our walk. The line outside the public library had me both feeling thankful for public libraries, and thankful that I don't work at a public library.   Anyway, back at the touristy stuff, we saw the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame. Sissy had us laughing when she asked for a picture with Snoop Dogg's star... I realized later she thought it was Snoopy!   Cha-Cha thinks P!nk is pretty cool.    And...

Entering a new phase in life

Image
After blogging for nearly 13 years, I stopped in May, for a few reasons.  Firstly, I had begun to be more concerned about our family's privacy. As the kids get older, they will want to have more of a say in what is "out there" on the internet, and there was quite a lot on our previous family blog. Secondly, for the first time, I was beginning to see visits to the blog coming from websites that made me uncomfortable, and even more concerned about personal information that I had been sharing fairly openly. And finally, we were preparing for an international move, and it seemed like a good time to put blogging on hold, and to focus my energy on the move and the more immediate needs of our family.  So, I changed the blog status to private, and really haven't touched it since. Now that we are settled in (somewhat) to our new home, and new routines, I have found myself missing our blog space to record and share memories, events, and thoughts.  I talked it over with the fa...

Zion and Bryce Canyon

Image
 We did it! We visited Utah's Big 5 National Parks this year! The kiddos had a few days off for Fall break so we traveled down to Kanab and set-up base camp to visit Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park.   We drove down with a stop for burgers and shakes at a local place. Apparently this is a medium chocolate shake in Utah.     We stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in Kanab. The room was very spacious and clean. And the hotel provided "grab-n-go" breakfast because of coronavirus which worked great for our early starts. As always, swimming in the hotel pool was a highlight for the kiddos.     Getting into Zion National Park was the tricky bit. Because of the coronavirus, the number of people allowed on the shuttles each day was dramatically reduced. Tickets were released 2 weeks ahead- which I completely missed. Thankfully a few more tickets were released the day before, and I was able to get us on the 7 am shuttle. That meant getting everyone up ...
