Frequenting the Southern Belt

We will visit southern Utah frequently because Mat will be working at his satellite office at the beginning of every month and then eventually take over twice a month. Lucky for me because I get to see friends and family, not to mention riding my bike on long peaceful stretches of road. Unlucky for the tires on my car.
This particular trip we spent some time with Grandma Rexine and enjoying a nice hibachi dinner. Thanks mom! And, we were invited to go and stay the night at Dannielle's cabin (Mat's sister).

We duct taped our shins until they were quite colorful

And then we went on Rhino rides with the cousins

We attempted fishing in the creek (pronounced crick if you're from St. George)I twas mostly just tangled lines and stabbings with poles.







And we went crawdad catchin'





We also had a lovely dinner that night

In the morning, Mat and Dannielle got up early to run the half marathon from the Yankee to Parowan



Dan will unfortunately lose her toenail because of the steep downhill and Mat walked like an old man for four days after. But, their bodies looked nice and toned while doing it and that is ALL that matters.

But I don't think either of them regretted doing the race together.


After visiting the fine folks of Parowan

we stopped at Mat's uncle's farm to retrieve a sign that Mat's dad chainsawed down 30 years ago. I figure we'll incorporate this antique into our house in some way. Maybe into a gate or a table.



Kids got DOWN down on the farm



Back to SLC we go!
