OUR FAMILY EASTER 2013...(PART 1)

Some of our family got together for Easter

this year and we had so much fun! We went

for a hike at a place called Red Cliffs. It was

just the right kind of a hike, not too far or too

steep! It was so beautiful every step of the way.

Lisa and her cute dog Gerty.

There were two water falls along the way

and people were swimming in the pools 

there. It was such a beautiful place!

This is me...yes, grandma Julie being

crazy again...aren't I too old to be doing

such things?!

It was a bit scary but oh so fun!

Our grandson Stetson with a little

grandson on his back.

Some of our bunch stopping for a break...

Our Lindsey with sweet baby Jonah

who was so good all the way!

Ron and I so enjoyed this hike!

Michael...this hike was beyond beautiful

all the way along!

Everyone of us enjoyed the day so much.

I thought this was so cute...

cute little family.

This little Jonah was such a good baby,

never cried at all, just happy to be out

and about. We kept sun screen on him 

took extra good care of him.

Our son Shane going up over the only

way to get to the upper falls.

We just had such a fun fun day!

Every turn brought more beauty...

The beginning of an arch? Lots of those in 

southern Utah.

This was at the first falls...these are all of our

family...nobody jump!!!!

Natalie and Stetson were just like

mountain goats, they were all over

the hills.

We had to get a picture under this, "oh so pretty tree".

Every step of the way was so exciting.

Kelton and Brody loved this giant tree stump!

They could climb right inside the roots of it and

 hide. It looked like it had been there forever.

Every direction we looked, it was so pretty.

The boys were up and on top of every rock.

 Another picture of our bunch...

After the hike we had a picnic...

and this is where Sophia found 2

Easter baskets, one for her and one

for her baby brother...she was so

happy!

She loved finding all the colored eggs

hidden in last Falls leaves.

Yipee..look what the Easter bunny left for me!

We had a yummy picnic lunch...

And grandpa and Jonah solved all the problems

of the world with their old head and new head.

Then we all hiked up a near by mountain

to enjoy all those eggs that took forever to

color!

Yes! The perfect play ground for rolling and

chucking eggs at each other! You had to have 

a good arm because it was a long throw!

Uncle Shane was a bit of a target, but

he got in some good shots too!

Brody loved rolling his down the

hill and we would roll them back

up to him so he could roll them down

again...I know it's a crazy tradition!

The girls had a great arm for chucking!

I stayed way out of their way!

What a great first part of our Eastering

together...more to come in part 2.
