Bryce Canyon: Inspiration Point

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

By the time we reached Inspiration Point, the clouds had really started to roll in over the area.  We started to feel our first rain drops. A few rain drops would not keep us from continuing on.  Unfortunately, at this point in our tour of Bryce Canyon, Munchkin started to feel worse.  For some time, she kept a smile on her face and tried to stay positive.  With the beginning of the rain, her resolve started to waver, but she decided that she wanted to keep going. So, our next stop will be Bryce Point.

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. Nichols and Ned Bustard Kids (and adults) can learn about 26 heroes of the faith as they read The Church History ABCs.  Each page contains a letter of the alphabet with a fun little ditty, a hero, and a paragraph telling the reader a little more about the hero.  The paragraphs are written so it sounds like that person is talking directly to the reader.  They are written in a light-hearted, fun manner to capture kid’s attention. The book, while geared towards 4-8 year-olds, could…
