Memorial Weekend at Bear Lake

Andy and I spent the weekend at the lake. It was very relaxing but productive. We did some yard work and cleaned up a bit.

We visited the Bear Lake Bird Refuge. You need to go there early in the spring. Every time we have gone we have seen these incredible birds.....snowy egret and sandhill crane. That is just the beginning of the birding there.

Andy's Birthday Present

Andy had his birthday off for the first time in 10 years. Every year that he has worked at the University he has had to work for his bday and the weekend that follows. It is the same week school is over so there is much to do.
However, this time, with his new job things have changed. We went to Snowbird and spend a night. I was in a conference and he came along. Then on Friday (his actual day) we bought a new fancy car. Isn't it cute? We may have to part ways with our beautiful VW van. It is a sore spot for both of us. We will see what happens...
