Day 1

Our latest trip to Utah and Wyoming began last Tuesday; after work I came home and we loaded up the car. We made it as far as Cortez, where we camped at the KOA. It’s a good blend of roughing it (sleeping in a tent) and being civilized (hot showers).

On the way we encountered some road construction. Some years ago, on a similar trip, I saw a sign marking the end of the work area and joked that it made a weird political slogan; this is now a running gag in our family:
At the campground, Evan was contained in his portable crib, for the last time:
And Allyson was apparently eaten by the tent:
Wednesday we made it to Utah Valley, where we visited the Monte L Bean Museum, a favorite from our Provo days. For Allyson’s birthday, Grandma C gave her a card game called “There’s a Moose in the House;” here there’s a moose in the museum:
That evening we went to an Owlz game in Orem with Michelle. Here Ryan lounges pre-game:
And here are Summer and Evan:

Coming next, more baseball, and Evan’s first steps.
