Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day 2024 to Kathryn and to our mothers and grandmothers.

The kids put together some special gifts for Kathryn.

We visited the Salt Lake City Cemetery and saw the graves of Grandma Kathryn and some of the other Kirk family members. This is where Eliza’s middle name came from.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Goblin Valley Revisited

Here are some pictures from our second annual Goblin Valley camping trip with the brothers. Here is the report from last year: Goblin Valley. It’s incredible to see how much Zoey has grown from last year. Wow.

We stopped by the Prehistoric Museum in Price again.

They were working on the Dippy exhibit last year. It was really interesting to see the exhibit all finished. It was definitely worth the stop. If you’re not familiar with Dippy, you’re not alone. This was my first exposure to this cool bit of history. If you’re interested, you can read about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dippy.

Here is our rig. Ready for adventure.

And smores.

Happy Birthday Melanie! We’ve got 4 batches of German Pancakes cooking in this Dutch Oven tower.

So good!

Sand, or a tree burl?

Adventuring

After Goblin Valley, we drove over to Little Wild Horse canyon.

This guy won the most improved hiker award. He completed the entire Wild Horse Canyon on his own two feet this year.

Back at the camp for some dinner and cobbler with the Camping Queen.

The final morning, we explored a Crack Canyon. It had some incredible features.

Another trip in the books! Thanks for the great times.
