Cycling the Legacy

So, during the construction of the Legacy Highway in Salt Lake and Davis County, UDOT added a 50mile trail which parallels most of the highway. We decided to put some new Teerlink gear to test by riding as far as out little legs could carry us. We loaded up the VW with as much cycling gear as she could hold and headed north to the trail head.

The trail was segmented by great small pocket parks which made for great pit stops. The park had smattering of kids who Ava promptly made friends with. At mile 5 we ended up taking a break at Bountiful Lake. After Ava made sure the lake was filled with enough rocks we followed her ultra pink kit (picture Kermit the frog pedaling as fast as possible) back to the car to complete a 10 mile ride! Good times.

Group Photos Redefined

Can I tell you how cool this is! No longer do I need to smoosh my favorite gaggle of friends or family together in order to get a great group shot. The panographic shot has got to be the best method of capturing the true view of a group. That's PANO-graphic, not to be confused with its homophonic counterpart.

Marianne's and Jim's B-Day Party

Of course they are only good as long as they sit still! Otherwise they end up looking like an early 1800's black and white with blurred faces

The Sparrow

Who will love a little Sparrow?
Who's traveled far and cries for rest?
"Not I," said the Oak Tree,
"I won't share my branches with
no sparrow's nest,
And my blanket of leaves won't warm
her cold breast."

Who will love a little Sparrow
And who will speak a kindly word?
"Not I," said the Swan,
"The entire idea is utterly absurd,
I'd be laughed at and scorned if the
other Swans heard."

Who will take pity in his heart,
And who will feed a starving sparrow?
"Not I," said the Golden Wheat,
"I would if I could but I cannot I know,
I need all my grain to prosper and grow."

Who will love a little Sparrow?
Will no one write her eulogy?
"I will," said the Earth,
"For all I've created returns unto me,
From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be."
