Red Canyon, Banana Peels, and Scipio Antiques - January 20, 2014

 On our last day we headed to beautiful Red Canyon. The banana war continued to the last day with peels hooked to Dave's license plates by Randy. Too funny!

 What a beautiful day in a beautiful place!


 On the way home Brooke and I stopped at a antique store in Scipio. We stopped there on the way in and of course enjoyed it so much that we knew we had to end the trip there too!
What a great weekend!

Zions National Park - January 19, 2014

 On the 19th the group headed to Zion's park. Brooke and I stuck a banana peel on Dave's car for old time sake. It was so black it was hard to tell what it was.
 The group hiked to an outlook while Sheryl and I went to church in town. After church I had the joy of writing in my journal in one of the most beautiful places on earth!
 We went up the river walk to the end of the Narrows Trail. It was beautiful and the temperature was around 60 degrees...

 The whole gang and a wizard (I have no idea who he was).
 Photo bomb on the overlook and 
a shoot out with Bob was the end of a beautiful day! Needless to say, banana guns don't work so well....

Bryce Canyon - January 18, 2014

 For Martin Luther King weekend I went with a hiking group to Bryce Canyon. Many of them were on the Maui trip I went to in November 2013. On the morning of January 18th we went to Inspiration Point and saw the moon set and the sunrise...

 The group included (T to B and L to R) Elizabeth, David, Bob, me, Randy, Kristine, Cheryl, Bob, Sheryl, and Milton.
 The cold sunrise was amazing and the view was breathtaking!

 As the day warmed up we hiked trails between Sunrise and Sunset points.


 It was beautiful with the snow. Brooke, Randy and so many others were great hiking buddies!




 Bob Bader was on the Maui trip as was Dave. Bob continually makes me laugh!


 Sheryl is a our leader and a lot of fun...

 Great switchbacks on the trail.

 In the later afternoon we went out to Rainbow and Yovimpa Point. Randy and Dave were crazy with their shorts, but it was beautiful weather!



Out on the point, what an amazing day in Bryce Canyon!

Chris and Mandy Thurman

 Mandy married Chris Thurman on January 11, 2014. I was happy to be there with her to celebrate her day.
 Deah, Denny, Michelle, Kris and I all sat together and enjoyed the ceremony and reception.
 We got a picture with the girls. We were all so happy for Mandy that she found Chris.
 As always, I could not leave the car alone and the kids were more than happy to help....
Congratulations Chris and Mandy!
