The Living Desert

While we were golfing on the Faldo course at Desert Ridge, we were part of a Bee Storm.  We were paired with a couple from Seattle who were staying at the Villa's at Desert Ridge.  We were on Number 6 and he hit his ball off the fairway into the desert a little.  He went out to get it and came back onto the fairway screaming 'Help Me, Help Me!!'.  We looked and could see a swarm of attack bees on him.  We started toward him and then could see that was not a good idea.  Within the next 2 to 3 minutes before he could run away from them, he was stung probably about 50-60 times.  It was a mess.  They immediately went to the ER and I was not going off the fairway.

The Coyote

We continued golfing and a couple of holes later ran face to face with this coyote.  He was big.  I'm not sure if they are dangerous but we were on the edge of the fairway when he came out of nowhere.  He looked at us and walked off and we finished our 18 holes.

The Lazy River Man

We did a lot of relaxing by the pool.  Darcy even tried out the lazy river.  Daiquiri anyone?

Memories

It's funny how quick the skiing at Alta became 'the best memory'.  It was such a beautiful day.  So perfect.  And now the standards for fun have been set so much higher!  

The next morning, Darcy and I were going to Phoenix for a little vacation time.....From 11,000 feet above sea level at the top of Alta  --  to the living desert.  It's vacation time for me.

Spring Fling

Jeff and I decided to have a Spring Fling at Alta on Wednesday, a day after the last wonderful storm.  The snow was cold and crisp and brought out Jeff's maniac creativity.  I am certain visions of his old days danced in his head and we set out on our 'Let's have fun, fun, fun until sore muscles scream us home.  In my mind I heard 'Ah, Heffie, you're a little older now -- but it sure would be a cool video to have you going off that rock.  After all, he's pushing 40 (j/k) not much time left!

I wondered if the back pain of landing this 7 foot jump would be worth it.  Ah, what the heck, go for it Jeff and your mom will take credit where credit is due....It was worth it!

Spread Eagle Man

Jeff taking a jump on our day at Alta.  The weather could not have been better, the snow could not have been better - Spring Skiing at it's best.

I Can Do it Too!

Not to be outdone, I had Jeff video me taking a jump?  Did my feet come off the ground?
