Nate, Oma, and Opa went to Francis Short Pond to take some pictures. Nate took these pictures. He was fascinated with a guy that was fishing and the fish he caught. He also really liked taking pictures of the dead crawdads.

They went to Lowell Observatory and got to see Saturn and some of its moons and the International Space Station (through two different telescopes). Nate got to look through the same telescope that I (Mandy) saw Hailey’s Comet through in 1984. Nate also got to push the button that turned the top of the observatory so that they could see something new.

They also went to the airport and saw the slurry helicopters that were fighting the Schultz Fire.

While at the observatory, they saw a bit of flame pop over the ridge (see left side of picture).
