Thorpe Family

Gail and Devin at Snow Canyon State Park

Sunday after church, Gail and I took a walk in Snow Canyon State Park.  This place, though radically smaller than the Grand Canyon or even Zion National Park, it is perhaps more beautiful.  It is also just 15 minutes from St. George and just moments from Ivins.  It is one of my favorite sites to visit in Southern Utah.

Gail and Devin at the Grand Canyon

Gail and I visited the Grand Canyon (North Rim) on Saturday.  We had a great time--despite the snow.  Yes, it snowed at the Grand Canyon on the Saturday before Memorial Day. 

The Canyon is incredible.  This was just my third visit in 43 years and I am already eager to return.  The Grand Canyon North Rim gets so many fewer visitors than Zion National Park that it seemed quaint and quiet even though it is more spectacular than Zion.

Here are the photos we got of the two of us:

Mother's Day

We had a great little family gathering for Mother's Day with the Thorpes yesterday.  We missed only Christian and Brittany, but otherwise had a great time.   We met Natalie's new beau, John, and Bridgett's oldest daughter Markessa.  See some photo moments below.
