Family Vacation in Snowflake AZ

We're Home from a (much needed) four day vacation in Snowflake!!!





Some things I'll remember about this vacation are:
  1. On the drive up-Tate tested our knowledge of the solar system with questions like, "If it's out of this world, how can you see the moon", can you see the stars' shadow, and do the stars get their light from the moon or themselves".
  2. The generosity of Steve and Sharla for letting us come stay with them.
  3. The AMAZING meals that Sharla fed us (The home grown corn was divine).
  4. Hanging out with Bryan's cousins and their kids. When Tate first met Tysee, he said to her, "I wish that your name was BABE". (He is such a flirt). They played together much of the trip.
  5. Visiting the Snowflake temple and getting to do sealings with Bryan.
  6. Flips on the trampoline. I can't tell you how much I've missed that! Tate REALLY had a lot of fun on it as well.
  7. Reading and being LAZY while Tate took afternoon naps.
  8. Having a fire and watching everyone eat Smores. (I'm off sugar AGAIN)-ugh
  9. Renting a boat and attempting to fish at Canyon Lake-NO SUCCESS, but still plenty of fun.
  10. Riding horses as a family at Sunset.
  11. Watching Bryan ride Trixy (The newest horse who is only starting to be broken)-scary.
  12. Driving home while Tate BEGGED us to stay.
