We have been trying to get to all the canyons in Utah to explore fall. In a few days we will explore some in St. George but we also still need to drive through Big Cottonwood Canyon and Provo Canyon. We have done Yellow Fork Canyon, Small Cottonwood Canyon, American Fork Canyon and the two […]

This is the most excited I have seen Abby in a long time (and she is a pretty easily excited gal), the thing I love is this took NO EFFORT on my part. No putting together supplies, no spending money to have fun and that (along with many other reasons) is why I love spending […]
It is sometimes hard to think of things to do out in Nature when it is so cold. Although, the clouds are always there and during the winter months are always changing. Check out a book about the different kinds of clouds from the library and every day go outside to try and […]
