No Place Like Home

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

We ended up not arriving home until Tuesday evening.  We had originally planned on coming home on Saturday, but we made another stop at Sand Hollow State Park, Utah on the way home.  We stayed a few days instead of coming straight home.  (We had no internet after Saturday morning when we left our original campground.) Last night, we brought everything in from the trailer.  We only put away what needed to put put away immediately (such as food items).  The rest of the bags were left in the living room to be tackled today.  We were tired and decided…

Bryce Canyon: Sunset Point

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

Next stop on the Bryce Canyon tour is Sunset Point.  You can easily walk from Sunrise Point to Sunset Point, but we chose to drive on this rainy day where Munchkin was under-the-weather. You can see another glimpse of our hiking trail at this location.  Yet another reason that Munchkin really wanted to be able to hike this trail.  She thought it would be so cool to get down there and see everything. Next stop… Inspiration Point.

Review: The Church History ABCs

Posted in Reviews

the Church History ABCs: Augustine and twenty-five other heroes of the Faith by Stephen J.

The book, while geared towards 4-8 year-olds, could…

Bryce Canyon: Sunrise Point

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

Over the next few days, I’ll be posting pictures from the different stops at Bryce Canyon.  Instead of having 1 HUGE post that was filled to the brim with pictures, I decided to just do a series of posts with a selection of pictures for each location. For our trip to Bryce Canyon, we took our handy Your Guide to Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks.  Before each stop, I would read all the information presented in the book for that stop.  We would then take the book with us to the location, so we knew exactly what we were…

Mossy Cave and Waterfall

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

One of the brief stops we made at the end of one of our days was at a trailhead called Mossy Cave.  We didn’t realize until we looked at the information board that there was also a waterfall at the top of the trail.  It turns out that this waterfall is man made as a way to try to control water runoff and erosion. As we got out at this stop, it started to sprinkle.  Since it was a bit cooler out that day, the rain felt quite cold.  We were enjoying the rain even though it was cool.  It’s…
