Kyla decided to try out for the high school soccer team this year and made it onto the JV team! She has never played on a soccer team before, so she was so excited to make the team. She missed a few of the games because she is also on the Varsity track team, and some of the meets were on the same day as soccer games. We sure enjoyed getting to see her play on the field!
For Thanksgiving, we drove up to St. George Utah and stayed at some condos with all of Dan's family. We had such a fun trip and loved exploring that part of Southern Utah. We spent some time at Zion National Park, Snow Canyon State Park, Pioneer Park and Thunder Junction Park. The older boys also had fun at the local skate park. Our kids don't get to see their Utah cousins very often so this was such a special time. Wish we lived closer to everyone! Here's just a few photos from our trip...
We only had a couple hours at Snow Canyon State Park, but could have easily spent a whole day exploring. The landscape and rock formations are breathtaking!

We loved Pioneer Park! The kids had a blast climbing all over the red rock formations and exploring. There are tons of little caves, a slot canyon and two little arches. There's also incredible views of the city.
We also went to a really nice city park with dinosaur playground equipment, train ride, and volcano that erupts every 15 minutes. So much fun for the kids! Basically like a small theme park and for free!
Zion National Park was so beautiful! Wish we would have had more time there. We took the shuttle bus through the park and got out at the last stop to hike to the entrance to the Narrows.

Such an amazing trip! Loved spending time with family and exploring beautiful southern Utah. We took the scenic route on the way home and stopped at Cliff Dwellers, and Navajo bridge which is located at the northeast portion of the Grand Canyon. The Colorado River flows under Navajo Bridge. Beautiful views!
