The Ures and the Goblins

The first week of June we took a trip with the Ures to Goblin Valley and enjoyed hiking in "Little Wild Horse Canyon". This has become a family favorite. Aside from loosing Mia it was a great adventure for all. We were separated from Mia for about 20 min. Just a few minutes of panic, then all was well.

The Kids so loved to climb the red rock and we discovered that Tayson is very much like his Grandpa Von. We would loose track of him only to see him on the highest cliff, just thrilled to be there.

We had the most amazing camp site ever!!!! It was very private and we had our own canyons to explore and climb right there. The kids had as much fun at the camp site as they did in Goblin Valley. The six cousins had a great time in their imaginary worlds of castles and kingdoms. It was so fun to watch them enjoy the splendor and each other.

We had good food, wonderful weather, and great company.

Goblin Valley can always be counted on to be a good time. This picture is of Derid, Tayson, Caleb and Sammy after much climbing and playing.

After two nights of camping, 3days of adventure we had to say good-bye to the Ures. They headed back to Texas and we headed home. We hope to have many more trips with them it was Great! Great! Great! Love you all.

Park City trip

Surprise!!! I know, I know, It has been ages, and believe me it is not because we have not been doing things........just the opposite. I have so much to share in the last month alone that it will take me a few postings. I have decided to start with the most recent and work back. So this is about the fun trip I just took with Deb. She had a couple days off with nothing to do, and I was free as well....so we did a little trip to Park City. We went window shopping down the historic Main street, and we stayed at the Silver King Hotel ( it is awesome to stay in Park City during off season because the rooms are so much less money and we had the pool and facilities to our selves). Our handsome husbands came up after work and spent the evening and night with us which was so much fun! They both went to work the next morning and Deb and I went to the "Utah Olympic Park". There were museums and we decided to take the tour. It was very fun and interesting. We were taken to the top of the "Ski Jump" and looked down as the athletes did just before they took off down the jump......Scary!!!! It was amazing. We then did some shopping at the factory outlet stores and both had a great time. Loved it Deb, Stephen, and Von

I will be posting some more things soon, so keep checking. We went to Connecticut, Moscow ID, and Goblin Valley this last month. Great time and pictures in each of these places as well.
