Family Spring Break 2024

 This was an amazing vacation.  It was so laid back. We don't ever do that.  It was just our family.  We invited others but only our family ended up coming and it was amazing.  Abby and I dropped off Tyler, Ella, and Darren in Leeds.  They biked through some trails and then headed to the St. George house.  Abby and I unloaded the cooler at the house and the started north on the biking trails to meet up with them.  Abby ended up doing about 16 miles RT.  It was super fun to have our little bike team flying down the path to home.  

Another day we went out to Gooseberry Mesa and Wire Mesa.  It was great.  I got some mnt biking in on my own.  So refreshing.  

Another fun part of this trip was sleeping in.  Waking up late.  Playing games during dinner.  Watching movies (Batman, Napolene Dynamite, MaMa Mia) with popcorn until midnight.  We would do an adventure or bike ride in the morning and then go sit by the pool, paddleboard or take a nap.  We took walks and played pickleball. 

We crossed the Virgin River one day to head up to Cherry Canyon in the Virgin River Gorge.  What a fun place to be alone and not with a million people.  


One day we headed into the Bloomington Cave.  It was so well marked you couldn't get lost.  It was hot down there.  I was expecting cold.  

After church we headed down a road into Arizona and found a great hike called Fossil Canyon.  It lightly rained and made everything beautiful.  


On our last day we met up with the Larrabees.  We hoped to do Lady Mountain in Zion but there was no parking.  We ended up going to Lower Clear Creek/Hobbitville.  Next, we did some Rappelling in Diana's throne and exited out Elkheart Cilffs.  Then cruised over to Belly of the Dragon to see the man-made cave.
