Quickie to Kanab

We had a short trip to Kanab for a Heaton family reunion the last weekend in July. It was fun to see our family and to get away for a bit.

Logan, James, my dad, and cousin Chris went on a hike through a slot canyon. Here are some of the shots from their adventure! It was hot and dry, but they said they had the best banana and crackers they had ever had, when they got back to the car.

yes, i do think the shoes are ruined. some parts were deeper than others.

and my dad found a deep part, and almost sunk to the bottom. they just wanted to save the camera, forget dad! they both made it out okay. yes, my car is still covered in red dirt.

Mom was so nice to get Sierra to sleep all weekend for me! It was a much needed break, and she was loving cuddling grand baby. Win, win for both of us!

Autumn was a little scared to get on the horse alone. So here comes daddy to the rescue! What a hunk! It was so nice of cousins Chris and Rick to get the horses ready for the kids to ride, and to supervise!

Logan loved the horses! Later on, she got to go galloping in the field with Chris. She had a blast.
All in all, it was a great time. We even got to go see our old next door neighbors in St. George for a few hours! Thanks for putting up with us Garrett and Deedra! We miss you. Also thanks to all the Heatons who put on a great reunion. We enjoyed seeing everyone who was able to make it. We look forward to the next reunion!

What a great trip! And it sounds like Grandma Coy has just the right touch.

If there's one thing us grandmas are good at, it's rockin' those babes. We LOVE it! Looks like you had a great time too.

Sorry to hear it has been rough with Sierra crying so much. But your other two girls look like they had a great summer! They look so big and grown up! Hope things get better with Sierra. If it is any consolation, my baby is turning 9 months old this week and I just barely got her sleeping through the night a few weeks ago. Should have started sleep training her long ago because a full night's sleep is so wonderful!!!!

We're SO glad you guys were able to stop in and visit! Remember, the house across the street is still for sale! :)
