pilgrimage to utah

We took our biannual trip back to Utah this past July. Of course the weather was PERFECT and a welcome break from the Texas heat. Although I was a bit stressed thinking about all of the renovations being made to our home while we were gone (that took a lot of trust on my part), we had a wonderful visit. Ended up with so many photos that I'm going to have to divide the trip into several posts. Otherwise, I don't know if anyone would actually last through all of them.

Here are a couple of teasers from various settings (best backyard in Utah, the Hogle Zoo, and up in the canyon--forgive me, I'm not sure which one):
