Zion hiking

From Snow to 70 degree sunshine in two days!  Pretty Fun.  We drove to Zion, stayed overnight in a hotel, and spent Saturday hiking--Kolob Canyons overlook hike (1 mile), hidden canyon (3-4 miles), playing at the river, and then the narrows riverwalk (1 mile).  What a beautiful place!

When you see all these cute faces and awesome scenery, you maybe can understand why we now have more than 23,000 photos in our iphoto library!

We also enjoyed reading Huck Finn in the van on the way and the way back--managed the whole way with no movies!  

Snow on April 16!

We had about 1 foot of snow on the 16th--took the chance to go sledding in April.  It was really warm, and I was quite comfortable in my t-shirt and jeans.  We all had a blast throwing snowballs, sledding, and making an 11-foot tall snowman!
