Our cousin who lives in another country on another continent sent us a Flat Stanley version of herself, so we tried to show her a good time. Look at those mountains!
We visited the BYU MOA with Grandma and saw the Windswept exhibit. The formations are made from tree saplings. Truckloads. It took the artist, Patrick Dougherty, about three weeks, with volunteers, to shape this still, yet motion-filled, piece.
I want to hire this guy to build us a fence. Haha! How expensive do you think that would be?
Then we were off to Southern Utah to enjoy some time with cousins. The kids spent a lot of time in the hot tub, seeing as it was kind of chilly and the pool at the spot we stayed at wasn’t open. We hiked a lot too.
We found waterfalls in Zion National Park that weren’t there when we visited last fall. Ollie filled his water bottle.
Ansel pondered the meaning of slick sandstone and the desert oasis.
Ian drank Gatorade and laughed a lot.
We hiked and chatted and had lots of fun along the way.
Oliver and Ansel impressed me with their courage to jump off the ledge and go zip lining. I hesitated a bit when it was my turn. Old habits, or fears, die hard.
We ended the night with the whole group gathered around the camp fire. We made s’mores and couldn’t believe that the trip was almost over.

We stopped at the Clark Planetarium. This place is a county gem with all kinds of neat things. We were there for 2 hours and the kids weren’t ready to go.

Spring Break was a success!
