Summer always seems to get its "first kick off" with Memorial Day. We didn't make any HUGE plans for the holiday weekend as we were coming off our big graduation week and we just wanted to play it a little "low key" and just see what happened. THE wind had been blowing LIKE CRAZY and sort of put a big damper on any hot dog roasts, picnics or ANY outside fun for that matter...BUT when it came right down to it, we wanted to get out of the house and DO something besides clean (after all, that's what I had done for 3 days prior in preparation for our graduation company). Dayna came out for Cam's graduation and was able to stay for a few days (which was AWESOME) so we decided to head over to Vernal for a little Cafe Rio (you don't have to ask me twice to go there) and see what happened after that. The wind was terrible everywhere...THOSE weren't storm clouds above, that was actual dust blowing around which made it LOOK like storm clouds. I've never seen wind like this that pretty much covered the entire State of Utah!
Regardless of the winde, after dinner we drove down to the Green River for a little
"look see" at this ever large mass of water!
NO...I don't have a new "DO", the wind just wasn't kind to my hair this day!!
Dayna thought she would scare me TO DEATH and try to break off a LARGE piece of ground
that just happened to be cracked and RIGHT on the edge of the
WIDE GREEN "ROARING" RIVER BELOW! NOT COOL!
LUCKILY that piece of ground wasn't ready to fall beneath into the water!
(and neither was Dayna!)
It always amazes me to see the Green River and how wide it is....we have 2 rivers close to our house
and they seem large to me, but when I see this one, ours looks as though its only a stream!
And so our Memorial Day weekend was off to a good start as we headed up the road for a spontaneous "auto tour" of the Dinosaur Museum sites....
to be continued.......
