Fall break
Last weekend, we took a little trip to Bryce and Zion National Parks. Because Josh has some other long vacations planned, he couldn't take off work, so we brought his boys along. I'm so glad he let us. One of Alisa's requests for me was to take her boys on adventures. I know her ideas of "adventures" are probably way more exciting than mine, but I think she mostly wanted her boys enjoying nature as much as possible. I often think about how fortunate we were to have our families so close together. Between the two of us, we had 7 kids in 8 years. So while Rob and I got a few looks and comments about our large "family," cousins make things much more fun. The boys cracked jokes and kept a good attitude the whole time. We had a fun trip. I missed Alisa, but I also loved being around her boys. I don't get to see them as much in the school year because we are just far enough away and have just enough activities that make it hard...
