Beautiful and freezing after a storm hike this morning. The trees shining with snow dusting was so pretty. We went to Timp shelf and found 2 moose! They were so fun to watch. They both had antlers and were sparing a little and you could hear the antlers knocking. We saw them on the way down as well. One was directly on the trail so we gave him space and time to wander down below. It was a great short hike.

I love getting away for something non hiking and love getting away for something hiking. When you can combine the two it’s my favorite. What a great weekend - comedy, hiking, and church. (Darren snapped this photo of me.)

We decided to hike in the Kolob Canyons section of Zion to Kolob Arch. A hike for those who like hiking. It wasn’t necessarily a destination hike and not necessarily a journey hike. But it was a pleasant 14 mile up and down hike with yellow leaves and red rock.

Laughing is my favorite and tonight we laughed so much! Ryan Hamilton is one of the funniest comedians. Every time I hear him I just love every minute. This was the 4th time we’ve seen him and I would see him as many times as possible. Clean comedy is the best and we had two straight hours of that. We also enjoyed the beautiful St George weather.

Cam and Sadie were being extra entertaining tonight after I got home from work. They were talking about the books they loved in elementary school and then they found these hats. Then they fought over who gets to shower first which is a fight they have almost every night. Silly girls that I love so much and am so glad they are around.

Went on a morning hike with Claire. A bit of a wild adventure in a short 3.5 mile trail. Crazy hunter throwing snowballs and a foggy view hiding the mountain. But it’s always kinda cool when seasons collide.
