Utah Down South....Part 2

Our trip to Utah continued down South to the city of Hatch. Ever heard of it? It was a fun drive up the windy dirt road to get to the cabin and take in a view like this.

The family cabin, named Tucuban, is so much fun and has a tin roof. We were blessed with plenty of rain down there and enjoyed listening to the sound of the rain hitting the roof.
Camping at Tucuban was peaceful and beautiful. This picture is of the river on the property.
Just as Dave did when he was a kid, the boys enjoyed walking on the rocks and fishing.

Dave and Isaac happy to be here too.

Somehow in between all the rains, we did find time to build a fire and roast hot dogs and smores.



We also found time to find some red rock to hike around. The boys enjoyed hiking around a lot.

We finished our trip by stopping in St. George to visit my brother David and his amazing and fun yoga -teaching wife Kim, and their 3 girls. What a fun family. I'm still trying to remember my yoga postures, Kim.

Here are Jonny and James with the youngest cousin Sasha. She is so adorable and sweet to hang out with our boys. All the girls in between their comings and goings were so fun to be with (unfortunately no pictures of Stephanie and Brooke)

The day with my brother and family was spent enjoying their amazing view of his back yard (Snow Canyon National Park) and swimming in the pool. Aaaahhh! When can we come back?


All in all it was a great trip and we can't wait to go back next year! Or better yet, some of you come and visit us. It's your turn!

Your trip sounds like the perfect family vacation: adventure, cousins, swimming, outdoors--time to be together.
We LOVE getting to see how the boys are growing.
You are all THE BEST--and we love you and miss you.........

Oh, I love rustic cabins nestled in really cool settings! Rain on a tin roof, exploring streams, climbing rocks and cooking over an open fire, and of sourse the red rocks of Southern Utah! Sounds blissful! Sounds like you had a great trip!
