Loving the Last Days of Summer, part 2

It's always a treat to visit Bryce Canyon. This is definitely one of God's majestic works of art. The only way to really experience Bryce is by hiking among the "hoodoos." We h iked a trail that took us down to the bottom of the canyon where we were able to walk under tons of rock, thru a slot canyon and zig zag our way back up to the top. Of course, the younger bodies zipped up the trail much faster than the old ones. We definitely got our cardio workout. It was so worth it. I want to go again and hike more of the trails.




End of summer also means more fruit from my trees. With the help of Allie, I've bottled peaches, have 24+ bags of frozen peaches in the freezer, not to mention the raspberries and nectarines. Becki and I just love nectarine cobbler. I can literally eat 1/2 a pan in a day. Apples are next and I'm going to bottle chunky applesauce next week. That's another treat I love...baked apples with cool whip. Sooooo good!

Math 1050 is giving my older kids a lot of study time at the table. I'm sure many of you can attest, there's a lot of groaning. But I'm very proud of them for doing this. It is a great example for Jordan. They constantly are telling him, "Jord, make sure you take as many classes as you can in high school so you don't have to do this when you're out of high school!"
