More summer adventures (aka Fun with the Dixon Julins)

Paul loves antiques and specializes in militaria (mainly WW1, WW2).  To say that he likes to explore would be a terrible understatement.  We also love to find any kind of treasure, stay in the outdoors, or meet new people.  Here we go . . .

Camping behind Y mountain

Because of my work, we were able to attend the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival.  Great Fun!

We drove through Tintic mining district.  Along the way, we found rocks and gems, learned some history, and even met a guy who had restored a beautiful WW2 era Harley Davidson in honor of his son who was killed in Afghanistan.

Sometimes as a mom, you just feel you have done something right.  This was one of those moments for me. We had stopped to explore an old cemetery (which is one of my favorite things to do).  I noticed Carson, with his hat off, paying silent tribute to a WW1 veteran.  The photo says it all.

A bunch of our kids together at Burger King in Ogden.

We found a very old spooky cemetery called Mill Fork Cemetery and explored. 

 Driving home, this "gate rock" reminded me of going through the gates of  Tolkien's mythological "Gondor."
