This Is Us

  I love looking up to the sky. Seeing birds fly, clouds float, the blueness, the sunshine, even rain clouds! I love seeing sunrises and sunsets. The moon and stars!  This is what the sky looked like on Saturday when I took Xander to work. Even though you can’t tell, this was facing East and the moon was huge! It was so pretty! Here are some sunsets and sunrises over the years:

Good morning. Day 16 of our photo challenge is Morning.  I love seeing sunrises and sunsets.  The glow from the first sun rays of the morning to the colorful sky at night. They bring happiness. I haven't been much of an early bird nor am I much of a night owl.  Mostly I'm a form of tired pigeon. HaHa! (Have you seen that meme?) However, the last year or so I haven't been able to sleep in past 8:00 a.m. So, it looks like I am becoming more of an early bird, which is an answer to my prayers. Are you an early bird or a night owl? Here is today's beautiful morning.

Day 6: Mountains/Beach 🏔️ I love the mountains! Nick and I have lived in Utah our whole lives. We have mountains all around us! We love spending time camping, driving, hiking, and picnicking in them. I don’t know if I would ever be able to live without them. 🏖️ We do enjoy spending time at the beach though! Which do you live by? Which is your favorite? Some fun facts about Mountains… The tallest peak in Utah is King’s Peak at 13,528’ There are 80 mountain ranges in Utah Mount Everest is the highest Some fun facts about Beaches… There are 7 pink sand beaches The world’s longest beach,  Praia do Cassino, is located in Brazil. Beach…

  The sun last night was red. I know it’s because of the smoke from the fires, but it was really pretty. Isn’t it wonderful that even when there are bad things happening, there is still beauty and something to be thankful for? What are you grateful for today? These pictures do not do it justice. We may or may not have gotten honked at when we stopped at the light to take a picture. 🤣🤫

  We have some pretty wonderful sunsets here. This one was so colorful and so beautiful! Heavenly Father's creations are amazing!

  Monday was our last day. We had so much fun and didn’t want our little getaway to end. We woke up, had breakfast (cereal), got ready and got everything all packed up to leave.  We took pictures of the kids on the wood fence: Lydia made a girl and boy out of Playdoh: We saw a cute little animal making noise and watching us: Our trailer is old, but we’ve got some good use out of it. Like I said, I recovered the cushions and Nick put down new flooring. One of the other campsites had a dump for our gray and black “water”. So we went there so we didn’t have to drive the whole way home with it. We stopped in a little town in Wyoming to get gas and lunch. Then we headed home. Our drive home: If you are wanting a fun getaway, we recommend this one!
