Zion National Park
we took a weekend trip to explore St George, Utah
and Zion National Park.
It 
was the most beautiful place I've ever been - incredible - highly recommend it!

first night we camped at a nearby lake, but the second night we were able to get a spot in the park.

after 
a long drive we stopped to stretch our legs at a little park. There was a super-cool rock to climb. 
(and there were lizards to chase.)

We stopped at Costco in St George to fill up on food for camping and grabbed hot dogs for lunch. All the drinks were offered in caffeine-free versions! and there were no chocolate muffins! hmmm...
we explored the area around St George - 2 lakes and various parks. at one point, driving down a pretty regular looking suburban street, we passed 4 mormon meeting places ("churches"). there was one for every block! (obviously my first trip to utah
)
)
camping the first night was extremely windy and cold. the kids slept great, but scott & i were up constantly with the variety of unusual sounds and the tent blowing down occasionally (meaning more than once!)
Zion is breathtaking! we hiked about 9 miles total in our 3 days. 
we definitely would like to return to Zion and this time of year was perfect as the snow-melt made for rushing rivers & streams, and the spring temperatures were a lovely 68-75 during the day - perfect for lots of hiking.

making freezer jam at the miller's
after the soccer game this morning, i was invited to make jam with my friend and fellow soccer mom, vanessa. we had fun and made far more than we expected - so we'll have jam for quite a time to come!

CC End of the Year
our year of classical conversations has come to an end. and we were able to gather and celebrate this week. we had all the classes show a bit of what they'd learned and had an open house area so family & friends could see all the fun things we made & did.
this photo is from atop a ladder at our final week of class. we were testing our bridges (on the table) and our egg-protectors (which i was dropping from the top of the ladder). physics is fun!!!
