Summer 2013


 I (Janet) drove the kids to Southern Utah for a school activity that Aurora was involved in.  On the way we drove past Lake Powell.  Aurora had a deep desire to visit a piece of beach where an episode of Dr. Who was filmed.  Unfortunately, it was not a stretch of beach that was accessible by 15 passenger vehicles with 2 wheel drive.  A very kind ranger pulled us out of the sand (twice.)

 Everyone jumped in.  It was very refreshing after our half mile hike through sand after the ranger rescued us.

This is December 12 (2012) Making mudpies in the back yard!  
It was a nice day for wearing pjs outdoors.
 
This was just a month before our dog, Atlas, died of a stroke.  She is a great culinary assistant in the "Terra" kitchen
 

Aurora and Avery: two beauties!
