Fun Hike

We went on a little family hike earlier in the week. It has been so nice to get out of the house now that the weather is getting warmer!! It's also been nice exploring our new town :)

we sat on a bench on our way back and ate a lunch we had packed.

trying to get a family shot :)

Saturday Drive

Time to update the ol' blog i guess. Today was a beautiful day!! Alax took the top off the jeep earlier this week, so we took a drive up the canyon. It was gorgeous, and reminded me a little of Northern California and made me miss home :( I have always been of the opinion that Utah is not that pretty, but i changed my mind today. It's just a different kind of pretty, and one that i can get used to :) Here are some pictures of our day!!

we saw a moose!!!!

the water was kinda gross looking, but it was still quite a view.
