Church in NE, Arrive Back Home!

We got up early and went to church in Grand Island Nebraska.  The ward was really small and we added a chunk to the congregation!  It seems like we always to that when we are on the road!  🙂  We decided to stay for 2 of the 3 meetings and although the girls weren’t too […]

Pick up Kids, Start Drive Home…

This morning, we got up early and started on our way back home.  We drove down to Provo and picked up Sarah and Brittany from EFY.  They had a great time and had a lot to talk about.  They really enjoyed it there.  They liked their roommates and their groups of kids they were with.

Zion, Cedar Breaks, Drive North!

Today we got up early, packed, and then at a wonderful last breakfast at the Desert Thistle.  We said our good-byes to Maureen and Warner and started on our way.  We really enjoyed our time there, that Maureen and Warner really made us feel at home.  They are such great hosts and we wouldn’t hesitate

Zion National Park – Day 2

Today was an awesome day!  We spent the entire day in the park and it wasn’t nearly as strenuous as two days ago (or I am used to the altitude and am in a little better shape after 2 days).  🙂  We got up early, ate a great breakfast, and then hiked the Emerald Pools.

A Day in St. George

Today was quite relaxing (physically).  We didn’t hike a bunch of miles and we were able to partake of much more air conditioning than we did yesterday!  🙂  We got up early and after breakfast, went down to St. George.  We did a session at the temple, and then did a little shopping at Deseret

Zion National Park – Day 1

What a WONDERFUL but extremely exhausting day we had today!  We got up early, had a GREAT breakfast, got to know the Spanish couple a little bit that was staying there,  and went into Zion National Park to spend the day.  You can no longer drive up into the park’s scenic drive due to congestion.

Leave for Southern Utah and EFY

This morning we got up early, picked up Alec and his friend and drove down to Provo to drop the kids off at EFY.  The girls were SO excited!  The boys and Kirstyn were excited to spend the week with Grandma and Grandpa Halliday without having their older sisters around!  🙂  When we got down

Back in Utah

This morning, we got up, ate breakfast, packed everything up and started our drive back down into Utah.  As we drove through Franklin, ID, we stopped and saw Angela’s grandmother’s old stone home that is still there, and then drove over to visit the grave of her Aunt Ann.  It is amazing to see how

2 Days of Swimming, Fun, and Relaxation!

The past two days have been a lot of fun!  Most of our time we have spent swimming in the pool.  Downata is a hot springs and so the pool was very warm on very warm days.  It took some time to get used to the hot water in hot weather, but the kids had

Arriving in Downata

Today we had a very busy day!  We got up early, ate breakfast, and then the boys and I wandered a round the ski village for awhile.  We took lots of pictures and had a great time!  Too bad we couldn’t have spent more time there, got day passes, and then went on the alpine

Playing in Park City

We got up early this morning, had breakfast at the hotel, and then drove to Park City, Utah to meet up with Grandma and Grandpa Halliday, Chantelle, and the boys.  They were really excited to see us.  They have a timeshare with Marriott and they have a nice place up in Park City, right at
