We started the day with a rainbow and obviously a few clouds and rain.
However, by the time we stopped at our first rest stop the sun was out and the temperatures were climbing
It always amazes me that as we pass through several different states how diverse the scenery can be - here the sky is washed out and the vegetation mostly sage brush and desert grass - the climate is dry and windy.
As we begin to climb up into the mountains - the air is still much drier than in the midwest, but the sky loses it's washed out look. And this year they've had more rain than normal so the hills are still green - instead of desert brown.
Although we spent two thirds of the day getting to our destination we still had time for a little fun. Del and I took in a temple session with his siblings and later we all went to the fireworks. It was a fun way to end the day. (This is the best I could get - my new camera has a firework feature - but I haven't figured out how it works yet! ;)
