a lazy afternoon...

Scott found the place for our kids that they call Perfect!

It includes:

creek

woods

rocks

logs

and lots of little creatures!

What better way to spend a lazy afternoon!

bryce canyon

over 200 pictures... i narrowed it down to theses!

marshmallows and motorcycles

a relaxing day...

Just hanging out around the cabin with their cousins has been an exciting adventure for the kids.

Building forts, swings, seesaws...

finding all sorts of creatures...

going hiking...

and bringing tons of MUD into the house...
has been exactly what our family needed!

welcome to Brian Head, Utah in JUNE!

We leave Phoenix at 105 degrees....

AND arrive in Brian Head at 33 degrees... AND snowing!

I wasn't prepared for this kind of weather.

Hope my kids don't freeze!

Rim to Rim Race

Scott had the bright idea to race us from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon to the North Rim. While Scott braved the 100 degree heat in the box, The kids and I were able to sit comfy, eat whatever, stay cool, and stop wherever we wanted.

He started at 12:00pm.

There are many amazing views from the different lookouts and driving around is breathtaking in and of itself! We stopped at Lee's Ferry to walk across the first bridge, on left, that was built over the canyon to make it easier for travelers driving from Utah to Arizona. Because it was replaced with the one on the right... it is now a foot path for the best views of the Colorado River. Because I am so scared of heights, I wouldn't let my kids walk all the way across... SUCH a poor sport, I know.

Cliff Dwellers

The last view heading up to the North Rim.

We made it to the North Rim at 5:40pm and the kids ran down the trail to meet Scott on his accent. Yeah, we won! But he wasn't far behind meeting us at the top at 6:00pm. Way to go! A personal record.

After spending the night at the North Rim, the kids hiked a few trails.
