Rasmania 101: Lake Powell and Father's Day

First, I missed a couple of photos from last week:

I missed this darling picture last week. This is
Ila and Verl at the ballgame.

We received some cute pictures from our Texas grand children.

Our annual Lake Powell trip was fabulous, as usual. This year it was only Roy, Jennie, Caitlyn and me, Plus Nick and Ori, and Hyeji. We got to know Ori and Hyeji a lot better having them by themselves. We were constantly amused by Ori-isms, such as: Ori: "Where's Nick." Catharine: "who's Nick?" Ori: "You know, Nick." Catharine: "I don't think I know anyone named Nick." Ori: "NICK! You know...your...your...male boy." She called her dad Nick the whole trip. He said she doesn't do it at home.
In a later conversation with Nick: Nick: "Ori, you can call me dad." Ori: "Okay, Nick."
She was also pretty worried about rattlesnakes, and slightly worried about the fish in the lake. She still swam, though. Hyeji and Ori were great together and we got many pictures such as the following, of the two holding hands wherever we went.

I am hoping that the pictures of our Lake Powell trip tell the rest of the story.

Happy: I've got my book

The water is low. The hike to rainbow bridge was approximately a mile. It was HOT. It was also worth it.

Happy: I've got my ice cream!

Rock hunt. Lots of rocks in my pockets.
The rocks here are beautiful and polished.

This pic makes the family trailer we rented look
a lot more spacious than it really was.

Happy: Hiking

Rock hunt. We left Nick on this mountain after
we were done hunting rocks on the last day. Ori asked "Where's Nick"
Catharine "He's still hunting rocks, he'll be okay." Ori: But something might get him."
Catharine: "What would get him?" Ori: "I don't know. Anything!"

Happy: Romance!!!

Ori always made her own sandwich. For three days she had
snap pea sandwiches--no mayo or condiments. Just snap peas on bread.
The last day she made a peanut butter sandwich. Peanut butter and jam
inside the bread--and more on top! Hyeji made her
own sandwiches, too. Tomato, lettuce, mayo and bread--lots of bread!

We got home from Lake Powell on Saturday about 5:00. Dan and Jieun came over to pick up Hyeji and they helped us unload. We were too tired to have anyone over for dinner on Sunday, but were glad that most of them came over to visit anyway for everyone to wish Roy Happy Father's Day.
