Two times St. George

In February I went to St. George
with my Mom for the funeral of her brother.
 And got to see so many of my cousins.
The Barton family
 The Cox family
 The entire Cox family
 The Jackson family
 Taking a break from the funeral festivities.
The Wood family - and I went on a little adventure
 to the petroglyphs at Little Black Mountain
 and to the Glitter Pits.
 The twins - glittering!
 
 Then in March, Mark, Courtney and I went for a little holiday.
We visited Kayenta. I love these wind things.
 And red mountains.
 And these two!
Although it was cold and rainy
and we had to order hot chocolate for breakfast,
we still found a little time and a little sun
to enjoy a new hike in Snow Canyon.
And one on Red Rocks - the Butterfly Trail.
Courtney was the king of the mountain!
As anyone who reads this blog can see,
we never tire of beautiful
St. George!

Until next time . . .
and I sure hope the weather is better!

Snow

 You know how the first snow storm in is fun
and festive?
And quite beautiful!
 Even the next few storms
 You can still appreciate.
 
 And even though you get sick of shoveling
It is still pretty.
  
But then - around February
when the same snow has been around for MONTHS,
that beautiful snow starts looking
like a scary monster.
Then it is seriously time to go - snow!!!
