Bridal Veil Falls and Heading Home...

We love Bridal Veil Falls! We love the little walking trail around it, the river and of course the water fall. I think this is one of the best places ever. This was was SUPER cold!!

On our way home we stopped at Dead Horse Point, just outside of Moab... It was incredible! I've never seen anything like it! It was beautiful.

This is a picture of Brent... pulled over on the side of the road to take some Utah rocks home with us. They are now in the front "garden".

This is how Mariska spent most of the ride to and from Utah... she got a lot of trucks to honk as us!

And this is a picture she drew of Brent... we just had to take a picture of it!This is how Brynley kept busy in the car on the way home.

Family Picnic

This is most of my family. My brother DJ and his wife, my sister Sarah and her husband and 2 kids and two of my nephews aren't here. The back row is my sister Elizabeth (in white) and her husband Taylor. Then Me, Brent and Brynley. My brother Joseph and his wife Jessica. Then my sister Amber and her husband Zack and on the very end is my brother-in-law Andrew who is married to my sister Joni sitting front of him. The row sitting, in green is my brother Nathan and his wife Jessica, their two kids are sitting in front of them. Then my Dad, his Dad (Grandpa Jack) and my mother. Next to her is my brother David and his wife Kristi, in front of Kristi is their daughter Gabby. All the other kids in the front, besides Mariska are my sister Amber's kids. And that's us in a nutshell! The oldest "kid" in our family is David, then Amber, Nathan, Joni, Sarah, then me, then Joseph, DJ and oh yeah I have another brother Matt (but he doesn't really count anymore - long story, his choice not ours) and then my sister Elizabeth. Mariska loved being part of the Magic Show put on by David.
Brynley the helocopter gunning down Mariska... good times.

I just like this one of me and my sister Amber and wanted to post it.

Temple Sqaure

These were the coolest fountains we've ever seen.

Our trip is almost over....

Utah Part 3!

We had a really great time taking the girls to the Natural History Museum at Thanksgiving Point. It was a lot of fun, when the girls could touch stuff... otherwise, Brynley was throwing a huge fit and making everyone stare at us. But we did have fun while they could touch and got some good pictures of the happy parts.

Diggin up dinosaurs.

Exploring water flow and erosion. Momentum and gravity...

Why does this picture of Brent make me so happy?? Hmmm, weird.
