We haven’t posted in a while...okay, a long time. 😬 We’re actually back in MO now, but we’d like to share some of the highlights to the end of our trip out west. This is one of our last epic hikes of 2019; Angel’s Landing in Zion NP. It’s been named the scariest hike in America and all 3 kids made it! Chad and I tried this hike about 14 years ago and didn’t make it due to 60 mph winds, so we felt pretty amazing getting to the end this time. If you’re reading this on FB, check the comments. I’ll post a video that shows how scary the hike is. For those who are wondering, we’ve been home for a few weeks. The end of the trip was bit of a whirlwind and we literally pulled in our new driveway and started gutting our new house. We haven’t really stopped since we got home. We were trying to beat winter so we could move in before frigid temps, but it seems like we lost. The wind chill was 22 this morning. We were hoping to not have winter weather while living in the camper, but hopefully it won’t be too long before we can move in the house. And as a side note: I miss the warm desert!
Sometimes the best things in life are unplanned. We’d like to introduce Zion, our new little guy who stumbled into our lives. He’s just 6 weeks old and has us all wrapped around his tiny paw; even though he’s on the sleep all day, up all night plan. 😴 And now, so you all don’t think we’re absolutely crazy, I think it’s a good time to announce publicly that we bought a house! Lots of big changes are happening here! We bought a house in Chad’s hometown. It’s about 1/3 of the size of the house we sold one year ago and on the same amount of land; just what we were looking for! And it’s in a great location. Downsizing will give us the time to travel and go on adventures more often than we could before. And I (Liz) will be able to clean the whole place in no time. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 There’s many reasons we’ve decided to buy a house again: first of all and we’re very thankful for this, Chad’s business is rapidly growing and it’s becoming harder and harder for him to work without an office. Second, camper life is wearing on us (8” of countertop, the tiny fridge, no dishwasher, all 3 kids in a tiny bunkroom, not remembering when we last showered 🤣, etc), and there’s other things too, like we miss having a veggie garden and chickens 🐣 and Chad loves to do woodwork and metal work, all things that are basically impossible on the road. We feel very blessed for the past 8 months exploring the Western US and parts of Canada. It’s been an amazing and a once in a lifetime chance to gain so many family memories. Utah will be our last state before we head home for the winter. Did I mention the house is a fixer upper? We’ll spend some time making the house our own and establishing our gardens before we go on our extended trip. Until then we’ll be sharing the rest of our adventures in Utah, all 7 of us. 🐶🐩👧🏼👧🏼👧🏻👩🏼🧔🏼
Capital Reef National Park. We’ve begun our tour of the red rock canyon lands of southern Utah. The canyons here are truly amazing, almost magical. The history here is pretty cool too, from the ancient petroglyphs to the historic orchards planted by the Mormon Settlers. We’ve been picking fruit varieties from the 1800’s, some we’ve never heard of like Golden Ginger apples. 😋
A trip to Utah wouldn’t be complete without taking the family to the Young Living Farm in Mona, a tour of one YL’s distilleries, a September snow storm and a visit to Temple Square to hear the Tabernacle Choir. We’ve been in the Salt Lake area for 5 days or so and we’re loving it. There’s so much to do here, we may never leave. 😆 We’ve had some rainy/snowy weather for a few days, but it’s nothing but sunshine in the forecast now. We’ll spend the rest of our time here Mountian biking before heading to southern Utah. 🚵🏼‍♀️
