The Flying Baileys: A Grand Spring Break, Pt. II
http://theflyingbaileys.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-grand-spring-break-pt-ii.html
Because Most Days, We Are A Three-Ring Circus. Monday, May 4, 2015. A Grand Spring Break, Pt. II. From the beauties of Lake Powell and the towering cliffs of the nearby oxbow bend, the mighty Colorado wanders buried through a plateau along the toe of Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, unseen unless you stumbled across it, as you can at Lee's Ferry in the picture below. One other benefit of the Campground is its proximity to Mather Point and the Mather Visitor Center, where shuttle buses leave on ten mi...

The Flying Baileys: May 2014
http://theflyingbaileys.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Because Most Days, We Are A Three-Ring Circus. Sunday, May 4, 2014. If anyone asks, "when is the best time to visit Salt Lake City," the first answer is usually "right after a giant snowstorm," because skiing that snow is one of the great experiences in life. But at any other time, the answer may well be April. We took our friend Yen, who is from Beijing but has been living with us this spring, as she teaches Chinese at Alden and Keegan's school. She loved it, as did Kate and da Boys. We really don't wan...

The Flying Baileys: Speaking of 15 Year Olds . . .
http://theflyingbaileys.blogspot.com/2015/03/speaking-of-15-year-olds.html
Because Most Days, We Are A Three-Ring Circus. Thursday, March 12, 2015. Speaking of 15 Year Olds . . . Beyond that, we can all find ways to strengthen our extended family – our aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents, our dead and unbaptized ancestors. We are also part of an amazing ward family. And each time we strengthen, comfort, or help another person, we are strengthening our spiritual brothers and sisters, the family of God. Posted by Brett Bailey. March 17, 2015 at 3:48 PM. So Its Been Awhile.

The Flying Baileys: So It's Been Awhile
http://theflyingbaileys.blogspot.com/2015/03/so-its-been-awhile.html
Because Most Days, We Are A Three-Ring Circus. Wednesday, March 4, 2015. So It's Been Awhile. Who has time to pause and reflect and write when time goes like that, and these beautiful little moments never return? To that end, overheard in my house at dinner in the last 24 hours:. Kate: "Now that I am 15, dad, would you take some time this summer to teach me how to drive? Me, gulping hard: "Well, I have taken out an extra life insurance policy on myself, so I guess we're ready for that.".

The Flying Baileys: October 2013
http://theflyingbaileys.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Because Most Days, We Are A Three-Ring Circus. Monday, October 28, 2013. A week ago Wednesday we headed out for a long vacation weekend. The original plan had been Mesa Verde, Hovenweep, and Canyons of the Ancients National Parks/Monuments, but the idiots in Congress and the White House decided to shut those down, poor foreign tourists notwithstanding. I know of no sound more evocative than the piston-puff-pounding, track click-clacking of these old engines. The kids, particularly Keegan, loved the exper...

Because Most Days, We Are A Three-Ring Circus. Sunday, March 30, 2014. First up we hired a guide, named Hisrael (first picture below), a wonderfully nice, proud Mayan who taught us how to say thank you in his native tongue (Um Bo Tique - phonetic), which literally translated means “God pay you.” He explained that there are two million people in Mexico that still speak Mayan, and he himself spoke four languages - Mayan, Spanish, English, and Italian. Seems appropriate coloring for a place where the WINNIN...

Because Most Days, We Are A Three-Ring Circus. Sunday, September 29, 2013. Looking for Color in All the Wrong Seasons. But I will be praying for snow, snow, snow, from this point until about next May. Posted by Brett Bailey. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Why Bountiful Is Best. Posted by Brett Bailey. Sunday, September 8, 2013. We arrived in the city just in time to eat dinner and then head straight to the play. In true Shakespeare fashion, it deals with deeper themes, such as legitimacy and how the la...

The Flying Baileys: August 2013
http://theflyingbaileys.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Because Most Days, We Are A Three-Ring Circus. Saturday, August 24, 2013. I think it may be the biggest rainbow I have ever seen, arching over my home town, with its end planted at Big West's North Salt Lake refinery, of all things. Given our past few weeks with my poor dad, it was a nice reminder that God sends comfort when needed. Maybe feeling a little of what Noah felt. The rainbow soon faded to this:. But I continued hiking up the hillside, which was a workout and provided its own beauty:. Took the ...

The Flying Baileys: July 2014
http://theflyingbaileys.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Because Most Days, We Are A Three-Ring Circus. Thursday, July 24, 2014. Southern Utah is God's Art Studio. Yes, Boulder, which actually is a place in southern Utah (and you thought it was in Colorado! When people ask where it is exactly, I respond the only way I know how: "Just over Boulder Mountain from the town of Torrey." Blank stares inevitably follow, even among most Utahans. Note the deer in the photo above. How much more alpine can you get? This is what the rest of Boulder looks like:. But as good...
