in the middle of a canyon.

my aunt and uncle just built a house in the middle of a canyon in central utah. it's lovely. and the area is lovely. there is a river on their property that is perfect for wading. and lots of beautiful desert scenery. they had their whole family gathered last week for a family conference and they kindly invited my family to join in the activities on saturday.

this family seriously knows how to have a family conference. in the 5 hours that we spent with them, there was archery, wading in the river, playing on the rope swing, several "teaching moments", dutch oven dinner + dessert, and a talent show. we had to leave because serena was getting so so tired, so we missed out on the tail end of the talent show and the bonfire {sad!}.

it was great to see everyone and we're so glad they invited us! i wish my parents would build a house in the middle of a canyon :)

{the drive down there was NOT fun. holy cow. nothing could entertain that girl. we won't be taking another road trip anytime soon.}
