What I Did on My Spring Break

Our whole family, including dogs, went to one of the prettiest places: The Wave.

It was quite an adventure getting the permit (see L's blog for details)

and took some logistics getting us all into one vehicle.

But it was ALL WORTH IT!

The place was beautiful.

Words can't even describe it all.

At one point, B said it looked like God took His finger

and just swirled it around to make the rocks.

It was a six mile hike with hills and sand.

We shared our Camelback water with the dogs, L, and Baby D.

L carried Baby D on the way in and the way out; she is AMAZING.

D & R loved running through the sand and up the hills.

R told us the flowers' Latin names.

D had fun giving Baby D a ride on those shoulders!

The pictures are from B's camera; he is an artist.

Thank you for sharing.

We had so much fun.

And it finished off with a drive along the Honeymoon Trail,

a stop at the Condor Viewing Area

(we will have to go back sometime for viewing),

past Jacob's Lake,

and dinner at Samurai 21.

What a wonderful day.

I love my family.

At the opening of the canyon.

The two side walls shown together.

What a cute tie-dye group!

"Sliding on the roller coaster" or Mom's idea of a cute picture

What forces of nature are at work?

How long did it take?

Truly a work of art.

And the last thought that comes to mind:

"and all things denote there is a God;

yea, even the earth, and all things that are upon the face of it,

yea, and its motions,

yea, and also all the planets which move in their regular form

do witness that there is a Supreme Creator."
