We just so happened to be in Logan tonight. Since we had two or three hours to kill, we brought our skis to give Green Canyon a try. Green Canyon is located just north of the Utah State campus, and is one of the few groomed trails accessible immediately from Logan. The canyon had just […]
Since we both have Monday off for President’s Day weekend, we figured we’d take a little road trip. Bree, with her amazing Google powers, dug up a Winter Festival at Ruby’s Inn just outside of Bryce Canyon. I was a little bit unsure about whether we’d be able to ski at all based on the […]
For those of you who did not know, last Saturday was Eagle Day. Never heard of it? Shame. Well to be honest, neither did we. In fact, we found out about it on a bike ride home from my parents’ new house in Kaysville. Heading out toward Kaysville on Glover Lane in Farmington, we kept […]
Bree and I have been hammering out our summer plans for some time now. Where are we going? Well we aren’t entirely sure, though we do know that it will involve flying into Milan, Italy in mid April. We will be bicycle touring around Europe for 3 months (through mid July), coming home just in […]
We’ve been busy the past few weeks, but not doing the kind of thing that merits a lot of photos. We’ve got some new adventures coming up that we are anxious to tell about, but in all of our planning, we’ve also done a lot of thinking about how we turned into an adventuring family […]
To continue our monthly theme of new winter sports (i.e. snowshoeing, classic xc skiing, and downhill skiing), we decided to give xc skiing one more chance. This time, though, there was going to be none of this shuffling business. We had watched the skate skiers in envy as they flew by us when we went […]
New Years Eve is not the typical time that you would expect to find a random adventure. The past several years have lived up to this expectation. This year, however, we decided to try something a little bit different. Breeanne noticed on Deseret News’ web site that Powder Mountain was having a New Years Eve […]
We have received a lot of interest and even specific requests as to how to build our Willow Tree Creche. This post details the steps used to build it. The creche is designed so that it can be collapsed for storage. Since we don’t believe in massive storage rooms or keeping anything large, heavy or […]
After last week’s extravaganza with snowshoes, we vowed our next visit to the canyon would be on cross-country skis, silently gliding up and down the mountain…or at least that’s how we envisioned it. So, on Christmas Eve morning, we headed out, rented five pairs of cross-country skis, and Colton, Miara, Trent, Ben, and I headed […]
With winter now in full force, we’re having to get a little more creative about getting enough time outdoors, especially since I’m just not that into downhill skiing. We’ve been out on a winter bike ride or two, but it seems like a shame not to enjoy the snow. Yesterday we […]
Its been more than a year since we took a break from our circus class to give Ben a chance to focus on school, but now that he’s graduated, we’re back. It took us a little while to get back into the swing of things again, but its been altogether fun. We’ve discovered Ben has […]
Upon wearing ourselves out stand up paddleboarding, we headed back up to the upper Iao Valley. When we visited the Iao Needle earlier this week, we met a local who tipped up us off to some good swimming holes up the river. Not wanting to miss out on the opportunity, we began scrambling up the […]
