Some nature

Even though I have been a little busy with my show, Pete and I have still found some time to enjoy the nature here in Utah. We spent one Sunday afternoon at a reservoir called Sand Hollow - it was beautiful. Though the water was cold! It felt good on a hot day. We just lounged on the rocks and read or tried to make our way around the rocks and sandbars under the water. It was a beautiful day and Pete took a ton of pictures (I'm sure they will make it onto Flicker in a month or so!)

We got the best camping tip ever from James, the scenic director here at the Festival. He said his favorite campground in Utah is Oak Grove. It's about 40 minutes away on the the highway, but then another half hour on a winding, one-lane, gravel road. It was well worth the trip. We were lucky enough to get the last campsite in the place and we had a spectacular view of the mountains that surrounded us.

It was warm during the day but cool at night (not Cedar Canyon cool, but all-dogs-in-bed cool.

Mojo started something that he hasn't done for a while - he dug little dens for himself all weekend. By the time we left on Sunday afternoon - there were 4 little Mojo size holes around the site and both dogs needed baths from all the dust. Not sure if you can see him behind Pete in the second picture, but he is in a little den under the bushes staying cool!

There was no place in the site that we couldn't look without seeing a beautiful view. It was just a fantastic campground and we had a wonderful and relaxing weekend.

Comedy of errors Follow up

We had our publicity photo call for The Comedy of Errors last night and I thought it would be fun to compare the renderings that I posted a couple of weeks ago with the (near) finished product. PS. follow the link to the right to Kathi's Pix to see the renderings and finished products side by side. It's fun!



I think they look great! Last night during the photo call, someone described the show as "Disney on Crack" I think that's a pretty accurate description. Although I haven't posted any pictures of the ladies in the show, they do look an awful lot like Disney princesses - think Beauty and the Beast or Aladin. It's pretty funny.


Below are pictures of the other set of twins, the servants and a picture of both sets of twins together. It's going to be a funny, funny show.

Roadrunners and Camping

Last week Pete and I finally had a night off together when the St. George Roadrunners were in town. So we drove the 45 minutes down the canyon to see a game. It was a pretty good game, at first we were sitting right in the path of the speakers, so it was a little loud, but once we moved, it was a lot of fun.

The game when back and forth for a few innings, but then settled in with the Roadrunners trailing. But in a dramatic turn of events, they came back in the bottom of the eighth and won the game!

We had a good time, the Roadrunners game seems to be a family event in St. George and by the middle of the sixth inning there appeared to be bands of roving children, stalking the mascot and seemingly without any adult supervision. But they seemed to have a good time and so did we.


Later in the week, I had a Saturday and Sunday off in a row so we decided to go camping. We are only about 30 minutes from Cedar Breaks National monument and we found a campground only about 15 minutes up the mountain from Cedar City so Friday afternoon we drove up and set up the tent (in the WIND) then after my rehearsal ended (around 10:30) I did my notes and things then we threw the pups in the car and drove up to the tent.

It was, in a word... cold. We went straight to the tent and snuggled into the bed and played some cards, then decided that we would just read because we could snuggle under the covers and finally, just got under the covers and tried to convince the dogs they would be warmer in bed with us.

It was a cold night, but the morning was clear. We had a nice breakfast and lounged around the campsite reading and relaxing. Unfortunately, it turned cold again in the afternoon and we decided to have dinner and a fire while we listened to the ball game and then head back to town. So we packed up the tent, got some firewood and started dinner.

Then it started to rain.

We drove back to town and went to a movie, thus ended the first camping trip of the season. Next time we're heading south, into the desert.
