Family Vacation

With my husband between classes in school and no school for our daughter, our family took the opportunity for a family vacation. This is a significant event for us, as Jason has been in school since we were married, and because of our three young children. But we did it. And it was great! We went to Bryce Canyon last Saturday and "hiked" what our 4 and 6 year olds could handle. We also rode on the ski lift in Brian Head on Friday. It was a lot of fun. We managed the long hours on the road without too much trouble. The most important part is that, now, after the fact, the kids keep talking about how great it was. I was most particularly struck by the importance of spending such time all together when, on the morning we planned to leave, JoAnna (our early riser) ran to wake Hyrum up shouting, "Hyrum, Hyrum, get up! We need to pack and DADDY'S COMING!" I hope these are the experiences that stick.
