Zion Hike on Martin Luther King Day



We hiked in the Court of the Patriarchs on the Sand Bench trail on Monday. There was a little sand and lots of snow. We were with Dan's brother Jon and his kids Darrell, Jonba, Jeremiah and Monson. It was a nice day. Zion is just as gorgous in the winter as other seasons. We also visited Grafton, the ghost town.

Andrew is an Eagle Scout!


Andrew passed his Board of Review on January 14 so he is now an official Eagle Scout. We are planning a Court of Honor for him in February. We are very proud of him for completing it when he is just 14 years old.

Dan Takes a Tumble



Dan took a tumble while mountain biking on the Bloomington Loop on New Year's Day. He ended up in the ER and the Xrays show that he tore the ligaments in his shoulder. He better take it easy for a few weeks and start acting his age. he was with Darrell and the Brewers.

New Years Day Hike











We went for our annual New Year's Day Hike with our friends the Saaralainen's, Swejkoski's, and cousin Darrell. We hiked above Snow Canyon with the trail starting right before the Ledges on the left. There were petroglyphs and beautiful views. We leaned later that Dan had torn his ligaments in his shoulder that morning and was hiking in pain!
