Mysteries Revealed!

**Warning: Dad, if you happen to look at our blog, don't read this post. I know you might be tempted, but it'll be better if you don't.**

Thanks for participating in my little guessing game!

The correct answers are:


A) Antelope Island


B) The Bean Museum


C) Teton National Park


D) Point of the Mountain


E) Slide Canyon and Rock Canyon (overlooking Provo; this is where the trail to the Y goes if you continue past the Y on the mountain and loop around the back to come out at Rock Canyon)


The winners were our moms and Amy! They emailed me their answers. Some of you were really close! And just so you know, Amanda, Kevin has been oogling pictures of Banff since you guessed that--he wants to go up there next summer!

We've been a bit delayed in posting answers for the following reason:



Well, I was actually working on it alone. And I gave up before finishing because we were missing so many pieces. I guess you get what you pay for: we bought that puzzle at DI for $1.50.


Kevin, on the other hand, has been busy building a Web site: ScanMySlides. We bought a 35mm slide scanner and have been scanning my dad's mission slides (unbeknown to him--it's a Christmas gift, so don't tell). Additionally, we want to do this as a side business. So check out the site and if you know anyone that might be interested, refer them on over! The site also has a picture of little Kevin.

I know where you can get some puzzles for free...and I think they have all of the pieces...
I can hardly wait for the finished product of your Dad's Christmas present. :)

That was a fun guessing game, even though I didn't participate! I was going to guess, but then I figured I wouldn't be right anyway...how's that for being a debbie downer?! :) Anyway, your puzzle looks great! Kip and I had a "Puzzle Off" you might call it -- we both picked a 100-piece puzzle and raced to see who could finish theirs first. He won.

Good luck to Kevin with his new website! I hope everything goes well. Sounds like a great idea.

Oh my goodness. I LOVE puzzles. I forgot how much I love them until now. Thanks for the reminder. I think on rainy days like this I'll pull one out.

You're right, I have no wedding pictures on facebook. Not by my choice, but they are incompatible or something silly like that. I've tried, but it just won't work, darn it.

No way!! I love, love, love your guys' business. I think I may want to do this for my folks for Christmas, but would that be too short of notice for you guys? I bet you'll have much success--who wouldn't want digital copies of old slides?! You guys are brilliant. You must have had a great boss in your past to prepare you for such things. ;)

And I love your puzzle. Do you remember the painting in our living room? I painted it from that picture. You have such great taste. ;)

I totally sat there trying to guess with a little post-it, but then I realised I only knew one answer for sure. So I didn't even try! Dumb, I know. Anyway, that is a great idea for scanning slides...
