Bryce, Ben and Bye Bye Baby

A couple of weekends ago we went camping with my parents and grandparents near Bryce Canyon National Park. It was lovely of course. I'm always amazed at what our creator can come up with. While visiting this fine National Park I did some calculating and realized that this was the sixth National park Beckett has visited in less than three years, and the third for Graham in less than a year. Not a bad start for our two little outdoorsmen.


The main purpose of the trip was the half marathon run by my parents and husband. I sacrificed the fun of 13.2 miles to watch the kids. They all ran great.

A few hours after the race we said "bye-bye good bye" to my baby for the first time overnight and left the boys with my parents. They asked why were were leaving. I said, "all I know is I've gotta be where my heart says I ought be." So my dad said, "I will consider you gone", and we made our way north. We left because my buddy Ben came back to town, but this time he didn't "rock the suburbs". This time he "landed" where "some summers after 6 or so I walk on down the hill" at Deer Valley. It was the perfect setting to "dance by the light of the moon". From the "start of the show" he "eased the people's pain" with an amazing performance featuring the Utah Symphony. To Ben I would like to say, "I love you more than I have ever found a way to say". I appreciate your "philosophy" and hope you will continue to "rock on" for years to come.

Anyone who can name all the above mentioned songs gets "free coffee", I mean ice cream.

Your little family sure does travel a lot and I am uber jealous. As per usual. I am also jealous of your concert. I listened to Ben Folds Wednesday on my way up to girls camp. Probably not the best music for the way up there, but it kept me jammin. Don't worry. No girls were with me. lol.

It's been a while since you ran huh, you even forgot that a 1/2 marathon is 13.1 miles not 13.2.
Every trip with you, Jeremy and the boys are a lot of fun.
