Then we had a fun-filled weekend at Carl and Velvet's. Their girls are livewires! We were treated to a magic show, a kung fu exhibition, tumbling, Sunday supper with Aunt Gail as honored guest, swimming at the pool, a walk to the green space, playing games, a super fashion show (we and Velvet were the judges) and watching Cosmos on Sunday night. I visited their Primary. Kate gave a wonderful prayer and was the "reverence child." Her teacher was all praise for her.
Monday, St. Patrick's Day, we started on our trip southward. We just went with the flow. We stopped at Cove Fort. The director's wife was our guide. It reminded me of Nauvoo and she said they'd like to serve there next. She knows Susan Easton Black who has a home in Nauvoo. When we were there she came for a few visits and was being courted by George Durrant. Our guide today said he proposed to her at the Kolob Canyons. They were at the end of the trail overlooking a cliff and he said if she wouldn't marry him, he'd throw himself off the cliff! So she did and now they are serving in the Nauvoo Temple!
So we stopped at the Kolob Canyons and hiked out to that cliff. (It's part of Zion National Park.) It was worth the hike.

Appreciated being included Sunday! Glad to see it's good hiking. When you get there, consider hiking part way up Angel's Landing - but not if edges/heights scare you! Remember Uncle Glen's Great White Throne paintings when you're in the neighborhood. And be sure to save room for pie at Bumbleberry Inn.
:-) Love you!
What fun! I want to visit Carl & Velvet's
Beautiful scenery and blue skies!
We were happy to have you visit, it sounds like your trip is off to a great start!
