Canyonlands and Driving Home to Basil

Sunday morning Lily and I woke up feeling much better because we rested more than the previous night. We had tucked the kids in at a reasonable time and played Redwall until everyone fell asleep.

We had frosted mini-wheats, eggs, orange juice, yogurt and chocolate granola for breakfast.

Ammon was the last to get up, and Lily and I thought it was so funny how he was sleeping in his bag.

We then went to the visitor’s center at Canyonlands to gat our passport stamped, and then we went and hiked the Mesa Arch trail.

We were trying to make good time, because we needed to be to the dog boarding place by 2PM in order to pick up Basil. So we hustled on the hike, but still got to catch some incredible scenery and take some great photos.

Even though we were in a bit of a rush, I let Clarissa climb into this hole. When she saw it, she kept asking to go to the hole, so I let her do it because I thought it would make her happy. I think it did!

On the way home, we listened to more Redwall. Lily and I marveled at how well written it is and what an enjoyable book it is.

Lily caught some of the beautiful scenery in Spanish Fork Canyon on the drive home (while listening to Redwall I suspect)

Once in Orem, we picked up Basil. Then we went home, cleaned out the car, had the kids bathe, and we bathed Basil. Then I vacuumed the car, and picked up salmon and made salmon, pineapple, roast veggies and rice for dinner. Mary cooked the roast veggies! Everything turned out really well. I really like that combination of food, A LOT. We also gave Basil some salmon and he went totally crazy for it.

After cleaning up dinner, Lily and walked Basil and I worked on my leash work with him.

I think showered and got clean and in my PJs. I intended to work (because I’m behind), but I was so tired that I blogged instead and Lily gave me a massage. What a wonderful weekend!
