What a great day!


It was nice to have so much family here for Danika's baptism. This picture is with Kevin's parents, his Brother Scott and his wife Stephanie in front of the Tabernacle. Can you see the resemblance between them? I've caught myself talking to Scott thinking it was Kevin before ha ha. It's really nice that our Stake font is at the Tabernacle, such a historical place. Congratulations Danika, you are a beautiful little girl and we love you very much!!!
Afterwards Kevin's parents hid eggs in the backyard for the kids to find. Then to end the day Kevin and I went on a date to the temple. What a great day!

Congratulations! That is so neat! Congrats on the date, too!

To answer your question about hiking- you could try Goblin Valley, it is pretty moderate hiking for small kids, and right now it is not so hot and ther are no bugs. Also you could do Little Wild Horse Canyon. It is a cool slot canyon right by Goblin Valley.

Clint answered your question for me on our blog. This is what he said. Part of his job is GPSing the desert trails, so he knows where all the great places are! Let us know if you're going to be in the area! It would be fun to get together!
