Snow Canyon

Chris and the boys hiked Snow Canyon on Thanksgiving. Chris found his first ever arrowhead... pretty cool. Nicholas found his first ever cactus, not cool.

Red Canyon & Bryce Canyon National Park

We spent the afternoon driving through and exploring Red and Bryce Canyons. It was a nice detour on our way to St. George for Thanksgiving. These are just a few phone photos.

4-wheeling!

Grandpa took the older boys 4-wheeling today. Andrew spent over an hour driving and Benj also took his turn driving the Rhino. Ben brought along his bow & arrow and got a little shooting in. He broke an arrow and nailed a fence post.

SNOW day

Last week we got pounded with snow. Over 20 inches!!! The boys had a blast playing in the snow and spent hours outside.  After they came inside Nicholas was disappointed, raised his hands and said "now what am I gonna do?"Ha!  Crazy two year old - where does he come up with this stuff?
