St George, Moab & Junior Prom - Busy weekend

We had our St. George house one weekend and the Allens were already there. Tyler and Ella were busy so it was just the three of us.  We biked and ate food.  We watched an outdoor movie at the Lagoon- UP.  I went on a canyoneering trip with some friends and their daughters.  We hiked to Aspiration Point by our house and left a rock with the other million ones there.  

Ella enjoyed a weekend with friends in Moab biking.  Tyler did Prom with the amazing Natalie Lawson.  

Ella went to Moab with friends.  Lots of Mnt biking and some cliff jumping 

 

Moab with Nolan and the Boys

 While I was in Escalante Darren took the kids to Moab with Nolan.  They had a fun hotel with a pool which always makes it great.  They road bikes.  They hiked to Delicate Arch.  Then they road more bikes.  I love that Darren will take the kids on trips without me.  He always does a great job making it fun.  

Escalante Girls Trip Day 2

We got to sleep all in a tent together.  Each night sitting around a camp fire and listening to Ang play her guitar.  I love these trips.   The next day we dropped into Egypt 3.  Nothing too technical.  Amazing narrow canyon.  So narrow you were constantly scratching both sides of your body on the rocks. We attempted to go past Egypt 3 but the water and escape pothole had us stuck and we didn't have enough time.  

 

Escalante Girls Trip Day 1

Ang's ankle was too busted to do much backpacking so we opted for the Spring Girls Trip to be a car camping adventure.  We camped out in the BLM by the Grand Cathedral.  What a beautiful hike.  The walls were amazing.  Neon canyon full was amazing.  There weren't any keeper pot holds to make it difficult.  We swam through plenty of cold water.  The view at the end was magical.  

 

St George Mom weekend - Saturday

 Our Last Day- Ghost Rider, Cedar Narrows, Water aerobics- and celebrate Valree's Birthday with Pink Box doughnuts.  

St George Mom Weekend - Friday

Yankee Doodle and Boltergeist were great.  I tried to just step back and let the ladies lead.  They know enough to do a pretty good job.  

St George Moms Weekend - Thursday

 Thursday we headed over to Island in the Sky in Snow Canyon. We did this last year and it was rough.  This time we breezed through it with a smaller group and a much more knowledgable group.  

St George Moms Weekend - Wednesday

Fun neighborhood moms weekend away.  We drove down to the east side of Zion.  There was snow on the ground so we were limited to what we could do.  Lots of mud and water in the slots so we had be very selective on what was feasible.  

Dianas throne was nice and simple.  Super family friendly.  

Then we hiked up to the man made sand caves.  But we had to make it in time for dinner at River Rock Roasting.  

 Sand Caves one hour stop- good shoes!

Dianas Throne -3 hrs  Right off main road, kind of 3 rappels
