Early Easter

We are celebrating Easter twice this year.  Adam and his parents can't be here on Easter because his dad has to work, so we had our own celebration a few days ago.

He thought it was great.  He didn't know what was going on though.

He had an egg in each hand.  When he found a new egg, he would throw down one from his hand and reach for a new one.  Dad's job was to collect all of the discarded eggs.

Then a few days later, he finally got his first tooth.  His dad was slow to get his too.  So no cavities from 

Easter candy. Yay!

Snow Canyon

Jim and I took an impromptu trip to Snow Canyon, near St. George.  We wanted to test out our new sleeping bags we got for backpacking.  We left Friday afternoon and came home Saturday night during a terrible snow storm.

Some beautiful scenery.  The weather was great, not hot and not cold.

Proof I was there.  I am so not photogenic.

It started to sprinkle just as we were ending our last hike.  It started to hail while we were at a restaurant in 

St. George.  By the time we got to Cedar City, it was snowing pretty hard.  We got stopped just outside Beaver.  Two semi trucks had jackknifed and there was a ten car pileup as a result.  Lots of other cars had slid off the road. We have heard that no one was hurt, which is a great blessing for everyone.  It took us about 6 hours to get home, when it usually takes less than 4 hours.  But in spite of everything, we had a good time. Sleeping bags were great!
