Scenic View


You can decide which view is the Scenic View - me or the incredible background! On the way to Arizona, Jan and I actually stopped in Page, AZ at the "scenic view". This is a first since we usually just zoom on down Highway 89. There was a long trail of steps that were cut out of sandstone leading down to a ramada covered area. From there you could take pictures of the Colorado River as well as Glen Canyon Dam. But, alas, my knees could only make it part way down (we had to come back up, you know!). Then I let Jan take a picture of ME, which is very unusual, but I think it turned out ok, don't you?

Family Fun



On Father's Day, we enjoyed a delicious meal with Dallin and Amber's family and Cameron and Corynn's family. After eating, it was time for a little family fun which turned into the traditional "Fisty, Pinchy, Flatty, Cutty, Cow". If you don't know how to play this game, ask any of the Payne Clan for a free demonstration.

The Corn is as High. . .



We were pleasantly surprised when we came back from Utah to find our corn higher than Jan and it had tasseled out! It actually grew another foot while we were gone for a week. Now just about three more weeks until corn picking time. We also harvested our one and only spaghetti squash which I planted on a whim. Indeed it has been fun to watch grow.
