Some really good stuff from this week:
Summer rain. Compliment from a coworker yesterday about how good I am at connecting with people. Park Sunday evening with us and the Randalls. Laughing and laughing and laughing at Ryan Hamilton’s comedy performance. Dinosaur island. Getting a little mountain time with a few wildflowers (some of my favorite purple ones), D being safe on his Timp summit, and June mountain green with blue skies.
Dinosaur island night. Wahoo! Thanksgiving point had dinosaurs so we went and saw them. They also had ginormous koi fish. Whoever touched a fish got to pick dinner. That would be tanner who picked Slab pizza. It was a good evening. Then the girls went to the Randalls for some movie watching.
We had a fun time with out of state family in south Jordan celebrating Emily’s birthday. Food and games with fun followed by a Kelcie sleepover.
But the best part of the day was when this morning, my co-worker who is a regular at Roxberry and knows Rylie, got a smoothie on her way to work and Rylie gave her an extra to drop off to me. Awesome!
Happy Tanner's birthday! And happy Father’s Day. We had all our kids for dinner in South Jordan. We
played two of my favorite games - SkyJo and Poetry for Neanderthals.
Hopefully both Darren and Tanner enjoyed the day.
I have been wanting to camp inside Bryce Canyon National Park so 6 months ago I got some reservations.
It was great to be able to walk to the rim - which is where we spent a lot of time. It was also great to have sunrise and sunset in the park. We enjoyed one sunset at Sunrise Point and one at Inspiration Point. Plus sunrise on Friday was extra magical.
My initial plan involved lots of hiking but since my knee is messed up, it wasn't mostly rim walking. But Darren did get to hike Fairyland Loop.
While it was not the trip I had initially planned or imagined, it turned out just fine. It was so enjoyable, we spent time at parts of Bryce that we haven't spent much time at. I would definitely do this again.
Good Sunday. MR joined us for church and then we had a great evening
with lasagna and games. SkyJo is one of my favorites and we played some
Jackbox games where Raw Chicken (aka Rachael) schooled us all.
