Happy 4th July

Rodeo was very cool!  Proper cowgirl and cowboy style. Some real rednecks in amongst the crowds!  Had ourselves a couple of Buds and settled in for some action.  Most entertaining!  Not sure how they do it - looks bloody scary.
Fireworks were awesome too - we were expecting piddly little efforts, as we are in small -town Utah, but no - Americans don't do things by halves, and it was flippin impressive.  Brent reckoned it was one of the best fireworks shows he'd seen.  I've been to Sydney NYE (show-off), so can't compare to that - however, still scored top marks for loud, bright and long!
Weather has cooled off a bit where we are - nice
cool evening temps which makes it much easier to sleep in Albert.  Having issues with our air mattress though - darned thing keeps getting punctures!  Imagine us waking up at 3 am on a virtually flat bed, trying to find the pump in amongst all our crap, but not wanting to open up the van door for   fear of mt lions, bears (but mostly insects) - and trying to pump up the bed with VERY limited space.  Has had me in fits of laughter.  Anyway, that's a mission for today.  Fix the bloody airbed! :-)
Til next time.
(more pics of Bryce Canyon off to the left by the way) (also - I entered 2 posts today as couldn't get online yesterday! Apologies for length of writing)

  1. What a weird landscape. Haven't seen anything like it before. Oh yes, I have, it's a bit like Barcelona Gaudi Architecture. Did you get the mattress fixed?
