Utah Trip 2006

The main purpose of this trip was a Lewis Fish reunion while Grandma Fish was still is health enough to have a reunion. So although we had just been to Idaho the year before we felt it necessary to make the trip again, and it was a trip we didn't regret! We spent 4 or 5 wonderful days in southern Utah, hiking, around, chatting with family, and fixing the water line that came down from the spring to the cabin. We figured that since we had just been up the year before, and Chad had limited time off we would offer my side of the family the opportunity to meet us in SLC for a day, and then head home, not knowing how long it would be before we would make the trip again. We made it half way up the state when Ruth talked us into a slight detour to see their home in Cedar Fort. It wasn't too hard of a thing to talk us into, although we were really tired, we really wanted to see their cement home. a home design we have considered building for our family. So off on the detour we went. Once we were there and had see their home, Ruth talked us into hiking up to the water tower. Something I didn't want to do! We had done enough hiking, and the dusty rocky road or trail she wanted us to go on was right through a section of BLM ground that had just burned. We didn't have proper hiking shoes, but she promised us it would be ok. (See Sidney, I can be a lot like Ruth, hiking up to the water tower in flip flops is ok isn't it?) After hiking up to the water tower and looking for fossils, we were privileged to have dinner with them as well. Then we were off to Mary & Tim's for the night. The next day we met up with the rest of the family at the Olympic Fountain at Gateway Plaza. We spent the morning there, got some lunch and then headed off to Temple Square. Very fun packed day!
