Fall Break

With the kids out of school for two days I had big dreams of going somewhere fun. My big dreams were put on hold and adjustments had to be made.

I spent Fall Break just enjoying being at home. For me, being at home, is a rare occasion and can cause me to become very anxious and bored. I somehow managed to stay busy, cleaning, cleaning and cleaning. My house is spotless for the first time in.....oh 20 years (just kidding). It's clean, but somehow hasn't stayed that way.

Friday after more cleaning it was time to GET OUT! The boys and I decided to get out and do some mountain biking. After some research online we decided to head up to Goosebery Mesa (above Hurricane) and see what it was like. We started out late in the day and didn't get much riding in, but found that it's a place we'll be going back to. Here are some shots of our short ride (oh and some wildlife)



We decided that after so much fun riding that we would try another trail closer to home. On Saturday we rode the Paradise Canyon bike train, just above St. George. It was a more difficult ride and not quite as fun (at least in Jack and Cadens eyes). This is Caden on the Paradise Canyon trail. It was colorful with the yellow flowers and red rocks.


We have a good time, getting out and enjoying our beautiful surroundings. I'm glad we stayed close to home.

Live every day...LOVE every moment.
