Our friend, Stine, a teacher here in Monument Valley, took us on a sunrise hike around the Mittens. This was by far, my favorite hike of all that we have taken in Monument Valley
As the light dawned on the mittens, the immensity of the mittens dawned on me.
Our friends, Mark and Shannon, took us hiking in Corkscrew Canyon. It is not in a tourist area, and only people who live here can go to it. (You gotta know someone.)
It was beautiful and fun. We had to carry a ladder with us, and Shannon’s 25-year-old son had to scramble up and down a couple of tough places to place the ladder for us oldies.
Corkscrew Canyon is super cool.
Now this is why we came to Monument Valley!
Everyone under age ten cried on the way home, so it must have been a success.

Some pictures of our adventures this weekend in Arkansas. The kids loved climbing on the huge boulders, and the waterfall was fun.
After our hike, we camped at Kyles Landing on the Buffalo River. Our camp neighbor brought us the most delicious pork chops he had grilled but couldn’t eat all by himself.
The last time we camped as a family was when the twins were only 18 months old. It was the most miserable experience I’ve had camping. But this trip was everything I have always hoped family camping could be. The kids weren’t fussy (the twins are 5 now and can hike over two miles),
we had good laughs and s’mores around the camp fire, the weather was beautiful, and the scenery was spectacular. And we got home just in time for #GeneralConference
