Narrows with the Allens

Darren had to work, but the girls and I slipped away for a few days to enjoy St George.   We spent 3 days with the Allens.  Our "Amy Adventure" was hiking over 17 miles in the Virgin River.  The Narrows were pretty cool.  It makes for a very long day.  I did it 25 years ago... and I probably won't ever do that exact trail again.  The company was lovely.  I am proud of my girls for being able to get up and do a huge hike, no problem.  Ellas knees were about to fall off... thankfully, her ankle held out.

Lake Powell Harston Reunion 2026

 The Harston Family Reunion was at Lake Powell this year.  Rachel, Rob, and Ely (who was in France) didn't make it down.  We had a lovely time with perfect weather.  The houseboat was big enough for all of us to have space.  The speedboat was busy the whole time, taking kids out to ski and tube nonstop.  We had great food all the time.  There was always a game going on at the table or on the couch.  We loved playing The Adams Family one night.  Ben played us music as we fell asleep under the stars. So much cousin time.  I loved the time to visit and play Chinese checkers!  We missed having Tyler there.  He would have loved it.  But the timing didn't work out to wait for him.
