March

 Progress on the house continues...LeGrand got all of the insulation in the front put in and we finished up pulling wires into outlets for lights and plugs.




The kids had some fun with my phone...seems like they get their hands on it every chance they can!







This day cracked me up...There was a contractor taking pictures and doing some things at the company house and couver wasn't having it so the lady was afraid to get out of her car. LeGrand loaded him up in his truck and drove to the top of the lane until the lady left - I couldn't help but get a picture of LeGrand and the stinky dog in his truck, ha ha!


We more than NEEDED a BREAK!!  COVID mixed with house building we hadn't been on a trip in far too long - we packed up everyone the end of March and headed on a southern Utah adventure - it was SO much fun, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute.  It wasn't quite as warm as we'd hoped but ended up being the perfect getaway/recharge!

We started with a stop in the town of Loa --just for our Loa!





Then on to Torrey where we stayed with plans to see Capital Reef national park



We had SUCH a fun time at Capital Reef, the kids loved just being able to do all the exploring they wanted to and we loved not having a schedule so we could just take our time - it ended up being one of our favorite stops on the trip.































Then we were 'supposed' to be on our way to Bryce Canyon and the lady in charge of the directions (ME) took us the wrong way, ha ha.  We couldn't help but stop at this random guys "Treasure Garden & petting zoo" ...the kids thought it was so cool.  Ha ha








It ended up being a fun detour to see Grand Staircase and Gobblin valley - we would have loved more time in Goblin Valley to explore!























Our last stop was Bryce Canyon, it was a bit colder than Capital Reef and Goblin Valley but luckily they had just opened the road all the way to the top the week before we got there so we were still able to have a fun hike and enjoy seeing all that Bryce had to offer.

                                       

























































SO enjoyed our little family re-fresh, in the midst of the house-building craziness!
