MOAB Arts Festival

Food glorious food ..lots of corn-on-th-cob...ribbon fries...fresh churned ice cream...funnel cakes...

Some of our favorite exhibits...

Enjoying the show in the Park !!

Natives dancing....Drums drumming....Ethney shaking her bootie !!

Muddy Moab!

Ken's Lake...not so great for diving, but the wading, and fishing were fun!

Monkeys in trees, and jeeps !

Fun at the park, and at camp!

Tons of rain, but mostly at night when we were snuggled in our tents!

Nothing better than cooking out of doors!! Food was great!

Sarah always looks forward to her yearly visit to the chalk art festival. We were a little late getting there this year, but we went for a walk down Main St. last night, and she took these pictures of her favorites. They were all a little faded. Oh well...Fun times!
Then we went home and watched A.I. together!!
We both screamed our guts out when Kris won!
(She has good taste like her Grandma!)

he did it !!!!!!

And he deserves it !!

I adored my Grandpa!

Ezbon Layton Jackman

This week, 40 years ago, my Grandpa passed away unexpectantly. I was 16 years old, and loved him dearly. He was a great man. His grandfather was born in Vermont, and followed Joseph Smith to Nauvoo. When the prophet was killed, he was devestated, but served as a guide and body guard to Brigham Young as they crossed the United States and came to Salt Lake. I am in awe of my progenitors, and the faith and courage they have had to live what they believe. I miss him very much, but know some day I will again sit at his knee and learn so much more.
