Angels Landing- Hurricane Rim

Ella was invited to the BYU invitational.  With a sprained ankle and tendinitis in her knees, she was only so optimistic.  Darren was there to support her and cheer her on.  She had two PR's at the last meet and one PR at this meet.  

While Ella was competing, the rest of us hiked Angels Landing in Zion. It wasn't very busy, which made it so enjoyable.  Marshall wasn't going to come but did!  So exciting to see him at the top.  We did a great job bike ride the next day... Hurricane Rim. 21 miles.  Just keep pedaling, just keep pedaling.  Later, Nolan and Darren did a great ride as brothers while we played games together. 

Hurricane/Zion with Nolan's family- Subway

Abby, Sam and Chris joined me going down Das Boot.  What a fun morning.  Cold.  Double wetsuits.  Swimming.  

 

Meeting up with Nolan, Sandra, Jess, Everett, and Marshall.  Some fun swims.  Wetsuits were amazing.  The hike out wasn't too bad with fun cousins to play with.  

April 2026

 April finished great but the highlight was Croatia.  Abby and her friend Caroline drew pictures of each other.  Ely and Rachel helped me paint the fence and it started snowing on us. 

It is outdoor season.  Hikes,  bike rides, trampoline, and pole vaulting for Ella. 

Fun date night.  6 ladies made butter cake.  Then, taste test each of them.  Delicious.
