Outside during the winter

By -
I'm beginning to think cabin fever is an unnecessary thing because there are lots of fun things you can do outside during the winter, even if it is very cold.

Exhibit A:
The first Saturday of every semester Dr. Nelson (I'm one of his teaching assistants for Biology) takes his class to the river to look at bugs underneath the rocks. We explore other places and things besides rocks and bugs and it is a pretty fun trip.








Exhibit B:
For MLKJ day I went snow shoeing. We went up to a spot past Vivian park and South Fork park but not quite to Big Springs. We followed a stream for a while and then went off the beaten path up a hill and to a meadow with deep snow and few tracks in it. Really fun. Ellen and Grover came with me.

February in review

By -
An app on Matt's phone makes these short videos of pictures and video he takes.  This one is for the month of February.  It includes puppet shows, Matt practicing the ukulele (he was trying to inspire Nate to learn to play it too), reading, playing at home, playing with Valentines at Grandma's house, camping in the great room, and early morning cuteness. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/OEH0GXAaIR8 (It won't upload, I think because of Matt's youtube preferences, but the link should work.)

We went to Capitol Reef National Park a few weeks ago and did some hiking while we were there.  It was a short but pleasant trip.  I'd love to go back sometime when the orchards are ready to harvest and take some fruit home with us.  It'd be nice to do some more hiking there too. Can you tell where we went to school?  It seems like we end up with an inordinate amount of BYU clothing in our bags whenever we go on vacation. She kept reaching for my sun glasses and so I finally handed them to her.  She was very pleased. Playing in the hotel room.  Matt really wanted to do a hike in some narrows and so we did this one.  It was really wide here, at the beginning.  We went a mile or so in and the canyon walls were only about 15 or 20 feet apart from each other. An artistic looking rock collection, photographed by Matt (who had the camera most of the time). This is one tired baby.  We didn't have a pacifier with us so...
