So, what do we do when it's been a rough kinda day, and things feel kinda lousy? We get the horses, pay $5.79 for one bag of marshmallows and two candy bars at the gas station, and go up Snow Canyon for a Family Home Evening campout! It was great!! There had been tons of rain yesterday, so no dust; river marks all down the canyon where it's usually just sand; and Kodiak was SO fun to have along. She had a blast kicking up her heels in all of that sand!
Nat and I rode up to Three Ponds and made a small campfire. Only took two matches and a bunch of dried twigs. We cooked hot dogs, (only a little sand got in them from our sticks...), took pictures, laughed, cried, talked, roasted marshmallows, made s'mores, ATE the s'mores, and enjoyed the incredible beauties of Snow Canyon.
It was rather dusky by the time we headed back to the horses...and an incredible full moon came up as we started to ride out. It was SO bright we were casting shadows on the dirt and hills.
Nat tried standing on Silver...in the almost dark...but Silver kept moving and Nat ended up bailing off of her! Wish I could have gotten it in action!!

You made me home sick, wait did I just call Utah home? Hmmmmmm
I miss Snow Canyon, I miss VOF (not the race but the park). I miss YOU!! Thanks for the pictures and for sharing what seems like a wonderful FHE!
Finally made time to look at some of the blogs. What great memories you are creating! Kodiak looks so cute. How old does she need to get too before you can start riding her? Is Palisade Park in or near Richfield? I/we might be up for camping if we have at least a month notice.
Good job on the blog, and pictures. The pictures really do paint a thousand words.
