Gimme a SPRING break!

For Spring Break this year Mallory headed to our nation's capital...

So, we took Gracie and Isabelle to Southern Utah for a little R & R. It was nice to get out of the clouds and rain and into a little sunshine! We stayed in Kanab and visited Zion and Bryce National Parks! It was beautiful!
It has been such a wet spring.....there were waterfalls everywhere!


We joined my Mom and Dad; Ben, Mel and Cameron; and the Paxman crew!


On one of the hikes, we came across the most amazing sight. At the end of the hike the entire area was covered with "zen" stones! They were everywhere! It was absolutely beautiful. Madeline and Ian added their own balancing towers!

Bryce Canyon wasn't nearly as warm as Zion....But it was so beautiful with the snow on the tops of the cliffs and hoodoos!

We had a great time! We were happy to see the sun again! I had almost forgotten what it looked like! And the weekend was over much too quickly!

Now the countdown to summer vacation begins!!!!!

Great! Zen stones! I have to tell you that growing up here in the Mountains of Utah, my parents would take our young family up the canyons and we would stack piles of rocks by the creek, and then play "Duck on the Rock," which was played by us standing back a ways, and throwing rocks to try to knock down the piles! What fun.
