Canyon lands

Last weekend Michael and Danielle invited us to join them on an adventure to Canyon lands National Park. It was a LOT of fun, although my poor pregnant body didn't recover from all the sitting in a car for a few days, we would do it again.

When we arrived it was really really cold, and and Alex insisted on being held and carried. We decided to take the shorted hike a 1/2 miler to Mesa Arch I believe. It was a beautiful walk on the packed snow and slowly warmed up by the time we got there.
The Arch wasn't huge, but what you can't see is that if you were looking at it from the side... one side is where we are standing, and the other is a sheer cliff.
As soon as we got to the dangerous part Alex decided she wanted to walk around, and everyone (except me) took turns holding her hand while she climbed like a mountain goat over the rocks and snow. It was so funny to watch her explore.




This is the picture taken while we were all yelling at Tyler to get Alex OFF THE EDGE. She just wanted to climb right up, and of course Tyler is just as fearless. Half of me wanted to turn around and ignore him, closing my eyes because I couldn't watch him get up there, the other half had to take the picture.


Alex walked the trail on the way back and was pretty intrigued by the snow. It had formed into strange frosted flake like cereal crystals so when you scooped up a handful it was like you had a bunch of cereal in your hands.

This past week we have had a lot of Tyler time and Alex has become a daddy's girl, through and through.



And last of all, here is my 23 weeks picture. I took about 2 pregnant pictures with Alex, so i'm trying to make up for it this time.
