Michael visit Day 2

Day two of the Michael's visit to Utah included a trip to the Wyoming state line, Flaming Gorge Dam and area, Red Canyon Lodge, and a Drive-in Movie! We started the drive to the Wyoming line which is about 1 1/2 hours from Vernal give or take pretty early that day. We stopped at the view areas and showed everyone the Red Fleet of ships in the rocks up by Red Fleet Reservoir. Then we went into Manila and got a few pictures on the Wyoming border, we headed back down to Flaming Gorge Dam and took the Dam tour to show the kids the workings of the dam and the Green River area while we waited out a small rain storm. Then it was onto Red Canyon Lodge and overlook view areas and lunch. After this we had to stop and take a picture of the pretty waterfall for Jo, who loves waterfall and eyes this one every trip up the mountain, always wishing they had the camera or time to stop. Really it is pretty and is just off the highway! After making it back down to Vernal we all had dinner and went to the Drive in movie. Jill & the kids had never been to a Drive in and when we learned this, it was a must to go. We seen X-Men Wolverine and Ghosts of Girlfriends past. It was a very tiring day, but also very fun! Here are few pics from the day!
