Our Trip....

The trip to Utah.....
We spent the first four days in Salt Lake visiting family.  It was so wonderful to catch up with all of our family.  They are all so kind and simply amazing people.  It was busy enough the first few days.....I hardly had a chance to soak it all in.   

We have been in Brigham City visiting Mike's family since Thursday.  This little town has amazingly grown on me over the course of my marriage to Mike.  A town I once thought of as little, kind of strange, and "too country" has become  a haven for me.  During the years that my sweet Mom was sick this was a spot I could escape and just think.  It still is a place I can reflect and enjoy.   Life is simple in Brigham City.  There are not a lot of distractions.   

The older I get the more I crave SIMPLE.  I think life is complicated enough as it is with the world in which we live.  I enjoy being outside, and beauty that surrounds me.   

Brigham City has become kind of my little haven spot in Utah.....my "Lancaster" of Utah.  

The first night we came to town, Mike and I took a jaunt up to the canal road.  The road  overlooks this beautiful view....





CHerries galore at the Sumko house.  Apparantly this season they have had the most cherries in ten years.  



This was the apparantly the best method for picking cherries....


Yep....those Sumko genes are strong....


Mike's Dad and his hands.  His amazing hands that have fixed bones, painted beautiful paintings, played instruments......and worked in the yard....ALOT!  


Kathy working away...


The Sumko's  "little" GARDEN


The orchard directly next door to their property.


Literally covered in cherries this trip.


Amazing what a little sun and a lot of sleep can do for a man.........




My daredevil!!!


My jumping bean.....


My acrobat......

Quite the pool....with quite the company.....


Spiderman lives.......:)  

My time has been amazing here.  Kind of hard to leave......
