A day away

Deon and I finally got a day off together and decided to head up to the mountains and see his parents and grandma who were staying at a condo in Midway, Utah. The guys decided to go fishing and so us girls decided to go over to the Homestead Resort and walk around and check out the sites. Here is Jolene (my mother in law) and grandma taking a rest break. Grandma has been really sick lately (cancer) and hasn't even been able to get out of bed. But here she is, looking cute and walking around with us.

This is one of the walkways at the Homestead. It's really pretty up there. There are a lot of individual buildings with rooms in them, like the Milkhouse, Barn, etc etc. But it is really cool. You can play golf, rent horses, scuba dive in a crater....fun stuff!!






we decided after walking around a little bit, we would go up the road and check on the guys who were fishing a little pond at the rangers station. Here are a couple ducks enjoying the pond!!






as we are getting out of the car, there is a family yelling "look at the deer". So of course, I grab my camera and catch a family of deer coming across the street. It's a doe and her twins babies from last year. Which is cool!! The little one in the back, behind the tree is a little spike (boy) and the other are two does (mom and baby girl). I thought it was pretty cool how with all the people that were running around the area, that they were comfortable enough to come walking in.
Kinda makes me feel guilty, cause this year, I drew out for the deer hunt and want to shoot a nice Buck (male). But anyways, I am hoping that Deon and I get a few more days off together this summer to go fishing, hiking, and just spend some time together. It sucks cause he works days, and I pretty much work all night shifts.

Wow that does look like a fun place to go to get away from it all!!

And how fun that you can spend it with grandma ;o). She looked like she was having fun.

I'm glad you got to spend some time with Deon.
