Some Random Photos

Here are some random photos I've had lying around (so to speak) since January:

By the way, the diet that Linh got me started on, "Eat To Live," actually works! I've lost almost 25 lbs. since December. It does take some self-discipline though ...

Spring Break, 2006

Here are some pictures from our spring break, we went to Zion, Brian Head, Bryce, Lake Powell, and Grand Canyon. There were 8 of us, in a Durango SUV. The trip didn't start out well, as we had problem finding cargo space for our bags, and ended up tying 8 bags on the roof of the SUV. On the first day, on the way to St. George, Utah, the freeway was completely closed past Las Vegas, making the 3-hr detour via Lake Mead quite tiring. After the slow start however, everything else went quite smoothly...

Zion National Park, Utah







Brian Head, Utah

This was Elaine's first ski trip, and she did great!


Steven went down the bunny slope once, but he'd rather play in the snow...



The kids went snow tubing the next morning.

The kids favorite activity:

Here they are at a small pond outside of our hotel room in Bryce.

Here Linh & Ed are tying down our bags. They have to do this every morning. We only had trouble once with the bags coming loose, when a big truck went by and made a big wind.

Bryce Canyon National Park...
Off on a 3-mile hike...

This trail was very slippery, Linh fell twice!




Our next stop was Lake Powell.


The naturally flat rocks made them easy to skip on water. Here Steven is gathering his supplies...

Kevin & Elaine went for the larger pieces...

Next day, we went on the Horseshoe Bend Trail near Lake Powell.






Lastly, here we are at Grand Canyon National Park.



The trail along the rim has no railing, kind of scarry...

I couldn't get it to work in Firefox, kept crashing it. It worked in my Internet Explorer.

Also you might want to use headphones as it's an auditory test.
