Had a good southern escape with Tami and Kelly to celebrate Tami turning 50.

We tried to snowshoe Cedar Breaks but such minimal snow, even at 10,000 feet, had us walking the closed road. We made it to Chessman Lookout which had a cool view of Cedar Breaks. It was cold and windy but a great stop. 

We also adventured a little on Saturday with a bike ride along the Virgin River trail. We biked in the rainy drizzle for a bit. I stopped for a moment to enjoy two hawks circling and perching on the rocks. 

Heading home we stopped at Red Cliffs and hiked the short hike to the dry waterfall. The walls were pretty and it was a good little hike. 

Good birthday celebration.

Went on an icy hike with Lorien, Sariah, and Deb.  Donut Falls was kind of sketchy getting to the cave but we had spikes for the win! Pretty cool site with the icy donut hole.  We also found a Christmas tree.

I love the First Presidency Christmas Devotional every year.

Tonight’s entertainment was Arctic Circle (nothing new there - we have been 3 times this week) and finding Christmas lights. We found a house that had music and lights and even played “raining tacos”. :). Also - we just love when they put the star up on the barn by the cows.

A couple of things that make me smile. 1. Coming across Sadie art. 2. When Cam plays hide and seek with Baylie. 3. Going to lunch with Kelly - everyone should have a friend that is a therapist. Lunches with therapist friends help with my mental health state. 4. Texts with old pictures (from Patty). 5. Mail from Brynn with the best drawing.

Finally got on a hike with Lorien and Sariah. It has been almost a month since we were last able to get out. We hiked the road from Tibble up to Silver Lake Flat. Not a pretty hike, but you get some mileage (6) and a little incline plus there was a frozen lake at the end. It had the coolest sounds of water moving under the ice.

Cam and Ry went to Panda and left a fortune cookie for me.  I opened it up and it could not have been more perfect.  "A vigorous hike and fresh air are just what you need."
