Baby it's cold outside

Here in Utah, it doesn't really feel like Christmas until you 

trek out among the hoards to Temple Square to see the lights. 

Every year I am initially a little "bah humbug" about going because

1.) it's cold

2.) we went last year

3.) it's cold

4.) there are so many peole

5.) it's cold

But every time I drag myself along, I end up loving it.

It's gorgeous and gets me in the festive mood. 

Here is a sampling of this year's trek.

One of my favorite moments of this year's visit was the guy that

totally crop dusted (aka gassed) and owned up to it

because he felt like he couldn't lie since the temple was right there.

That is one scent I could have done without this season.

Oh, and for your information, it was cold and slightly wet, but still a good time.

You caught me!

I am a horrible blogger.

There, I've said it.

As part of this admission, I vow to do better.  

Thank you for letting me get that off my chest. 

 

Steam Punk

So, I had no idea there was such a think as Steam Punk until Sunday.

It's kind of Victorian Era + Fantasy + Steam Energy + Rocker = Steam Punk.

My friend asked me if I would do a photo shoot for her in this style.

Here a just a few of the pics. 

I had never done anything like this, so it was fun to play dress up

and be a little on the angry angsty side. 

I also took a little photo myself. 

I think it is the best one.

What do you think?

Lake Tahoe Part 1

For those of you who have never been to Lake Tahoe

I heartily recommend that you do. 

It is GORGEOUS!

Here is proof: 

This is at Sand Harbor. 

The  entire lake is surrounded by huge granite rocks

and beautiful pine trees. 

The water is ice cold, but it's still fun to play in.

We went snorkeling, tubing, and wakeboarding.

Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures of me wakeboarding,

but believe me, it happened. 

It may have not been for very long, but it happened. 

I wasn't sure what to do once I got up so I would just let go of the rope.

It freaked me out a bit, OK!!!

I had promised Mr. Greg I would try and try I did.

.I

I prefer the beach.

I was rewarded with a hug and an Oreo shake from the delicious Char Pit.
