Bryce Canyon






Jared took me to Bryce Canyon for our 10th anniversary this last weekend. It was a great break from school/work for us and we had a fantastic time. The weather was perfect! The first day we explored on the 4 wheelers but the green machine got a flat tire so we rode together for a while until that one got a flat also. So we had to go to the hotel and relax. We had a all-you-can-eat buffet that included ribs. I managed to stear clear of the dessert bar, but we both got really full. We watched an episode of "Man vs Food" and it made us ill because we were so full. The next day we saw an "award winning" film on Bryce in the visitors center then we hiked our legs off. 12 miles in all, up and down 2400 foot drops. Gorgeous! The fall colors were perfect. My legs hurt after that. We came back late and were exhausted. We attempted a hot tub visit, but there were about 5 kids in there, one of which was a two year old in a huge floatation, so we left pretty quickly. The next morning I could barely walk, but wanted to do one more hike, so I thought I'd just hike off the stiffness. Not so, it was agony going down that drop again, I could tell my body was mad at me when it hurt so bad nothing looked pretty any more. I toughed it out and have all sorts of great analogies about life from that hike. I made it the almost 4 miles and we just left after that. When we got to Gunnison to visit Jared's parents I was paralyzed. But they fed us steaks and corn so I was happy. Good memories.

Post by Fiora

Hi. I'm Fiora. When Grandma Sandy and Grandpa came over to visit I was glad to see them. We all put on our Halloween costumes to show them. My costume was Hanna Montana. And Savanna's costume was Mr. Brain. Weston's costume well... he's gonna be superman and spider man. That's what he said. Now, what we are going to talk about is that Grandma Sandy is my favorite, Grandpa always gives me smoochies and he is also my favorite.
My parents went to um Bryce Canyon so I went to Wendy's house and slept over. But then something sad happened, and I got a piece of gum! Guess what? it was hot gum. Do you know I like hot gum. Oh yes, we took a bath because we had a fashion show and had to wash off all the makeup. I washed it off so hard my eyes burned to pieces! Karli babysat us and slept over with Kynsie and Krystal. Guess what? we tried to wake them up because they are sleepy heads. Now, lets see, Krystal is funny because she always draws. Oh and guess what one time when they were um dropping us off at school, Karli was tired because guess what she woke up really early. Here are some pretty pictures of me on Sunday...one two three four lets move it!

Blog by Savanna



Savanna is writing this post today.
We got a new 4 wheeler just for kids and I love to watch Weston on it. Weston is so cute on it. Dad brought it home for us. mom thinks I concentrate too hard. But I have fun on it. It is a little miniature 4 wheeler and Fifi doesn't want to ride it, ever. She is scared of it. I don't like 4 wheeling but I like it when I have my own to drive.
The fire! Today there was a fire at school. Well, almost. Lots of teachers and children thought it was real. When the fire alarm went off, we all ran outside, we played duck duck goose and down by the banks but the fire was scary. It was kind of fun outside, but it was scary I thought the whole school was going to go down! So, when we came back in, we found out that it was just the furnace, it exploded. So that's the fire story. But guess what? I got to go to choir after school and just to let you know, choir is fun. Maybe I should tell you everything about it. OK my first grade teacher is the choir person thingy whatever. Chorus is fun. And guess what? I get to sing "Chocolate in my stocking for Christmas" just like last year. And also, "Christmas Children" and and and also, "Christmas in Kilarny with all of the folks at home."
Fiora erased something I wrote in her journal that was very nice of me. Next time I'll do it in pen. It said "I love you Fiora, you are the best sister ever. I love you so much. From Savanna" and I drew a beautiful picture of her.
Now I'm going to tell you about Weston. Weston is funny, he asks really funny questions, like "Why do you have a hair clip in your hair?" Weston doesn't like to be called cute or have kisses on his head. But we all hold hands on the way home. And all of us didn't eat our potatoes for dinner because we don't like them. The end.
