Bucket List

Everyone has their lists of places to see and things to do before they call it quits. This past weekend I got to check one of those places off of my list. 'The Wave' is located on the Utah/Arizona border and is a photographers paradise. We were lucky to get permits the same day we wanted to do the hike. Only 20 people are allowed to enter the region each day. Paij's brother Jarom and I ventured out and enjoyed this unique sight and its surrounding beauty.



When I feel like I need my batteries recharged I can always count on nature to get me revitalized. I didn't think nature could be improved upon. I have discovered that I feel a deeper level of connection with nature when I get to share it with Morgan. It is so fulfilling to see her enjoying the outdoors with all its curiosities and wonders.




These pictures were taken in Jenny Canyon at Snow Canyon State Park. This was a great little hike for the kids. It was also a great little hike for Dad because it got him out of having to clean up the house and packing up our suitcase for the trip back home.

Jarom, Paij's brother, and her nephew Dylan and I were able to enjoy some "guy time." We attempted to hike Angel's Landing in Zion National Park. We were unable to make it all the way to the top due to ice along the narrow path along the cliffs. We were still able to enjoy some great views and actually witnessed a small avalanche while eating our lunch up on a ridge.
In addition to Zion we spent some time scrambling and bouldering on the red cliffs above Saint George.

Here we are squeezing through one of the deep cracks in the rock formations. It was a lot of fun exploring and looking for little hidden areas to maneuver into.

Overall the trip was AWESOME. Thank you Haylee for making the trip down and letting us stay in your beautiful home. It was great to hang out with your kids and get to all visit. We hope to do it again sooner than later.
