MADDOX RESTAURANT IS KNOWN FOR THE WONDERFUL FRIED CHICKEN AND ROLLS.

AFTER OUR HIKE, WE GOT CLEANED UP AND MET MOM AND RUSS AT MADDOX FOR LUNCH.  MOM AND RUSS WENT ON A DRIVE TO GET SOME PEACHES AND THEY WERE ALREADY THERE.  WE MET THEM AROUND 12:30 P.M.  THEN MOM AND RUSS TOOK CRAIG TO THE AIRPORT AND ME AND BILL BROUGHT STUART BACK TO OUR HOUSE TO PICK UP HIS LUGGAGE.  THEN I DROVE STUART TO DANIELLE'S HOME TO SPEND SATURDAY NIGHT, SUNDAY AND THEN SHE WOULD TAKE HIM TO THE AIRPORT ON MONDAY TO FLY BACK TO SAN FRANSISCO. WE ALL HAD A WONDERFUL TIME TOGETHER.

ME AND STUART IN FRONT OF THE FALLS AT THE TOP OF THE CANYON.  NOW WE GET THE FUN HIKE 3.5 MILES BACK DOWN THE CANYON.  IT WAS NICE AND COOL WITH THE WATER SPLASHING ON YOUR BACK.  IT WAS NICE TO BE WITH STUART TODAY.

THE NEXT TIME WE SAW STUART-HE WAS ALREADY AT THE TOP BY THE WATER FALL WHICH IS 3.5 MILES.

TAKING A NAP WHILE HE WAITS FOR US.

HEY GUYS!! YOUR FINALLY HERE.

WHILE STUART WAS WAY AHEAD OF US, ME AND BILL ENJOYED THE VIEWS AND STOPPED PERIODICALLY TO TAKE PICTURES.

SATURDAY MORNING ME, BILL AND STUART DECIDED TO GO FOR A 7 MILE HIKE UP TO ADAMS CANYON AT 7 IN THE MORNING.

HERE WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED ON OUR LONG HIKE, IT GETS ROUGHER AS YOU GO HIGHER UP THE CANYON.  THIS IS EASY FOR STUART SINCE HE HIKES ALL THE TIME.  HE GOT WAY AHEAD OF US FAST.

YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PICTURE HOW FAST STUART HIKES, HE DISAPEARED QUICKLY.  SO IT WAS JUST ME AND BILL PUSHING ALONG.

STATION PARK -WE WENT TO SEE THE MOVIE "THE WAY WAY BACK", ATE PIZZA, FROZEN YOGURT AND WATCH THE WATER FOUNTAIN(THE FOUNTAINS WERE DESIGNED BY THE MAN WHO CREATED THE FOUNTAINS AT THE BELLAGIO IN VEGAS) THERE WAS A SHOW WITH MUSIC EVERY HOURS.

CRAIG-ON OUR WAY TO THE MOVIES.

HERE WE ALL ARE, AFTER THE MOVIE AT STATION PARK.

WE ORDERED ITALIAN STYLED PIZZA.  MOM WAS TO FULL FROM THE KETTLE CORN AT THE MOVIES.  "I WILL HAVE A FROZEN YOGURT LATER". WE JUST VISITED AND ENJOYED THE WATER FOUNTAIN SHOWS.

THURSDAY AUGUST 29, 2013-MARVINS FUNERAL.

I HAD TO WORK TODAY AND COULD NOT GET OFF FOR THE FUNERAL.  MOM, RUSS, STUART, CRAIG AND BILL WENT.  BILL TOOK HIS OWN CAR SO HE COULD LEAVE AFTER.  EVERYONE ELSE STAYED FOR THE LUNCHEON AT THE CHURCH AFTERWARDS.  THEY GOT HOME AT 6P.M

UNCLE MARVINS VIEWING-MIDVALE UTAH FROM 6-8 P.M

MOM, STUART, ME AND CRAIG (BILL IS TAKING THE PICTURE)  I WAS GLAD I COULD GO TO THE VIEWING.  I DID NOT HAVE TO WORK THIS DAY, SO GOT TO VISIT WITH MY MOM AND BROTHERS.

CALL TO MOM TAYLOR AT 9:30 P.M REGARDING UNCLE MARVIN.

FRIDAY NIGHT I HAD RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM MY MOM SHOWING A PICTURE OF UNCLE MARV IN ICU AT THE UNIV. OF UTAH HOSPITAL.  I CALLED HER TO ASK WHAT THIS WAS ABOUT AND SHE TOLD ME THAT UNCLE MARV HAD HAD A STROKE DRIVING TO HIS CABIN IN PARK CITY.  HIS CAR HAD A ROLL OVER AND HE WAS IN A COMA IN THE HOSPITAL.  AFTER A MRI  THEY DECIDED TO TAKE HIM OFF LIFE SUPPORT DUE TO BRAIN CELL DAMAGE FROM SEVERAL MASSIVE STROKES WHICH CAUSED HEMORRHAGE TO HIS BRAIN.  MOM STATED THE DOCTORS STATED HE COULD LIVE A FEW HOURS OR SEVERAL MORE WEEKS.  HE PASSED AWAY AT 11:30 P.M FRIDAY NIGHT AUGUST 23, 2013.   I HAD BEEN SO BUSY WITH MY GRAND KIDS I FAILED TO SEE THAT MOM TEXTED ME TO CALL HER.   SO, PLANS WERE MADE FOR MOM AND RUSS TO DRIVE UP TO UTAH FOR THE VIEWING AND FUNERAL.  THEY ARRIVED AT OUR HOME ON TUESDAY NIGHT.  STUART AND CRAIG FLEW IN ON WED AROUND NOON.
