Easter in Plymouth, Utah, April 4, 2010

We spent Easter up in Plymouth visiting Marilyn and Kim.  We love visiting their home and always have a good time.  We spent time outside looking at the owls, looking for eggs, and enjoying the nice weather.  We also enjoyed a Wii bowling tournament which got pretty competitive. 

Grandma got he boys a dying kit for Easter eggs, so they had fun dying them.  They turned out great, but the Easter bunny didn't hide them, he used plastic filled eggs....so we got to enjoyed eating these!

Here are all the eggs, we used a crayon to draw on them.  The boys loved it!Kash's stash!

Wyatt's basket overfloweth!

We kept our eyes towards the sky the whole time we were at Marilyn's.  There was a male and female owl couple living in her trees.  This was the best picture I took of the male.  The female stayed in the nest, guarding two chicks that had just hatched. Pretty impressive birds.  I loved hearing them hoot back and forth to each other.

Wyatt spent a lot of time with the camera, taking dozens of pictures, most of which we deleted because they were blurry or of stuffed animals.  This one turned out pretty cute!

Prior to the Easter bunny visiting, Grandma gave the boys bubbles which entertained them for quite a while!

A New Hobby???

Just messing around with the camera on Easter weekend at Marilyn's house.  Pretty cool things laying around there.  Don't really know what I'm doing, but I think its a lot of fun! 

The train woke us up at 7:00am on a Saturday morning, which was earlier than its normal run.  Then we realized it kept coming back and forth by the house within minutes of each pass.  So we had to check it out.  We found out that it was a chartered photo op train for a bunch of photographers and film makers.  I joined in, probably making them a little angry, and took some of my own pictures.  I think they turned out pretty cool.  A great way to document the "Heber Creeper", now called the Heber Valley RailRoad.  The train will be a lasting memory for all of us, I'm sure.  The boys loved to wave at it, the dogs howl at it, we put up Christmas lights for the Polar Expree and get woken up frequently when it comes back up the canyon on its last run.

Photo Op

We had a rude awakening on Valentine's Day.  The train of the Heber Valley Railroad; or what used to be called the Heber Creeper, was blowing its horn at about 7:00am.  This is unusual for any day of the week, but especially frustrating on a Saturday.  I looked out and the train was going up and down and up and down the tracks over and over. I also saw a group of about 20 people at the train crossing, so I went out to see what was going on.  The train had been chartered by a bunch of professional photographers for some photo ops.  I, jumping on the opportunity, grabbed my camera and joined in.  I figured the worst they could do was tell me to leave......and even then, I could just go down the field (our own property) and continue to take pictures.  The actually didn't have a problem with me there, so I clicked away and here's a few that I got.  Mind you, I am not a professional, so please, go easy on the critique!
