Hawk?

I not really sure what kind of bird this is but it lives in my mom's neighborhood.

We were watching it from their porch yesterday. 

Anybody have any idea what kind of bird it is?

Dad's B-day present to himself

After several weeks of searching, my dad finally found a fishing boat that he liked on KSL.com.

He bought it a day or two before his birthday so I guess you could say he bought himself a b-day present.

The kids love to play in it, especially Jake.

Happily Ever After - at Kenley Amphitheater

Last night I took Zoe to see "Happily Ever After" at the Kenley Amphitheater in Layton.

It was described as a "musical review for fairy tale lovers of all ages".  It was actually kind of cute.

They performed songs from assorted Disney films and other fairy tale themed shows.

I will admit I would have loved a fast forward button during a few of the slow songs,

 but all in all it wasn't too bad.

Z loved his fake Elvis style wig

Rapunzel

We didn't get any pictures after Rapunzel started singing.  It started to sprinkle a few songs before but the cloud burst started about the time Rapunzel got on stage.  We were getting absolutely soaked so we left to head for the car.  By the time we made it to the car it was a total cloud burst.  It made for a fun trek to the car and a fun end to the evening.

Flooding on 800 South

Today Andrea and I went to lunch at Moochies on 800 South in Salt Lake City.  It has been down pouring rain all day.  Starting around the Moochies area (200 E - 300 E) the street was flooded. 

Water was actually spraying out of the manhole covers.

Sorry picture isn't the best. 

It was taken with my phone, through the car windshield, while we were driving in the rain.

it was fun seeing the spray as cars tried to drive through the flood.

The spray as we drove through went higher than our car.
