Fantastic Fourth of July weekend

Capital Reef...the magnificent sites of Utah

Thanks to Camilla's hospitality at her family home in Teasdale, we spent the holiday watching the Torrey parade, eating at the Boy Scout breakfast, and driving through some of the amazing sites at Capital Reef National Park, outside Torrey, in Wayne County, Utah.

Camilla was smitten by the puppies for sale at the street market in Torrey. This one felt like velvet and had bright blue eyes.

If you blinked, you missed the parade. It went down the main street one way then turned and came back. 

Walker was our favorite entry.

Danny and Amanda joined us later in the day,

and we visited the Gifford homestead, in Fruita, at Capital Reef.
