Happy Easter

April 21, 2019
Easter is the most important day of the year.  It is a day when  hope came into the world.  We had a really good stake conference.  I sang in the choir.  Later in the day we had some our family over for dinner.  We had a lovely meal and a good visit.  We did a family home evening and an easter egg hunt.  It was good to see our grandchildren and children just enjoying being together.  It was as nice an Easter as we have ever had.  We would loved to have had all our family there, but we know  they would have been if they could have come.

The little boys loved getting a push from Uncle Jim

It was so sweet to see these big brothers with their little
sisters.

A view from the top in Canyonlands.

We liked these delicate desert flowers.

Yes it was very windy.  If I had been wearing a wig it would
have blown off.

This is delicate arch, the famous license plate arch.

This arch was in Canyon Lands.

Craig always likes the big rocks.

This was our view from the restaurant window.  It is the not
so "Green River".

 day the weather was cool and cloudy, but it was good for hiking.  The next day was sunny and pleasant.  I was glad we were at Arches that day because the red rock formations were at their best in the sunlight with a bright blue sky and billowing white clouds.  We were there at a good time, because the parks were not overly crowded.  We took several short hikes and we averaged about five miles a day.  We liked the way we could drive to a place and take a hike of not more than a mile and a half and see an impressive view.
We found a great restaurant in Green River and enjoyed eating dinner there.
