We've said "see you soon" to Utah quite a few times since our first visit the first of week May - but this time it's, "so long, farewell!" Utah is gorgeous and we have so many happy memories from around the state. Sand Hollow, Zion, Lone Rock, Monument Valley, Moab, and these 2 weeks at …

It's funny how every place we've stayed has a different "feel"... it seems like the Lord has new lessons each stop and the environments we are surrounded by often reflect what He is doing spiritually. So interesting!!! Each week has been different and had its own unique rhythm. I would describe this 2nd week at …
For our adventure on Saturday we went to Homestead Crater, a geothermal spring a few miles away in Midway, Utah. A mom at the playground in Vernal told us about this hot spring and it sounded very cool. I'm so glad she mentioned it because it's by reservation only and books a week out. Ever …

We've been near Park City, Utah for a week now and we are loving it. When we climbed up out of the desert for the last time in 2019 and stopped at this beautiful lodge for lunch last Sunday, I was so thankful!!! I loved the RR, E, and AB cubs up there on the …

Our week in Vernal, Utah was a fun one! We enjoyed Dinosaur National Monument 2 days (here and here) and meeting up with our friends we met in Cali. We had dinner together each night and the kids got lots of play time! This KOA had a fun playground / bounce pad/ pool and I …
On Saturday we went back to Dinosaur National Monument to enjoy the quarry fossil exhibit again and a family hike! (Here's our first day there). The Utah side of the monument is not very large (as far as things to see, paved roads, and marked hiking trails) but what is there is great! By the …
On Saturday we came to Vernal Utah after our happy couple of weeks in Palisade CO. Vernal is close to the Utah side of Dinosaur National Monument that RR has been looking forward to for awhile! The drive here was pretty... I love these roads that appear to vanish into the mountains: Douglass Pass was …

On Sunday we left Moab and came to the Grand Junction area of Colorado! We've been zig zagging between Utah and Colorado a lot, huh!? And we're going back to Utah again next week before we head north toward Idaho then Montana. But first we have such special visitors that we are SO excited about! …

We had a great Independence Day in Moab - but I feel like we've been celebrating and enjoying America all year! Now more than ever we know that America is SO beautiful, so diverse, and is full of amazing people, places, and opportunities. As I share pictures from our 4th of July (enduring a hot …

Moab must be very well known for its off-roading areas for AHV, OHV, UHV, side by sides (whatever the children are calling them these days!) because there are *tons* of them here. Betty doesn't have any aspirations to be a tiny little 3-letter toy (she's very confident in who she is) but all the toys …
