Saint George Trip
We took a last minute trip down to Saint George for the weekend. We wanted to test out our new car on a longer drive. We stayed two nights and had one day of exploring. We went to Snow Canyon and walked around on the petrified sand dunes. It was really cool and very pretty. Then we went swimming in the hotel pool and watched some BYU football. A fun little getaway which I think we should do more often.
New car
At some point, it's just not worth putting any more money into an old car to have it fixed. We said goodbye to our 2006 Toyota Sienna and hello to a 2018 Toyota Highlander. It's such a better car! It's amazing how much car technology can change in 12 years. I'm loving driving it around. I'm a bit paranoid about messing it up. But if I just take care of it like my dad takes care of cars, then it will all be alright. I will just ask myself "what would mike do?" Here's to many times parking "on the end and in the shade."

Another backpacking trip
A few weeks ago, Mason went on his second backpacking trip. This time he went for a two night trip up in the Uintas. He came home dirty and tired, but this one seemed a bit more fun for him. He's got a good group of boys and leaders to do this challenging stuff with.
Cassidy's first soccer tournament
Cassidy is playing soccer for a Utah Storm Club Team (#10). Her team had their very first tournament a few weeks ago. It was their first time playing together as a team, and they did so good! Cassidy played mostly defense, but was still able to score a goal. They won some games, and lost some, but they made it to the championship game. They played so hard and ended up winning the championship game! They each got to come home with a champions medal. Pretty cool way to start the soccer season!

Backpacking Trip
Last weekend, Mason went on his first backpacking trip. He and the boys from our ward, with some leaders, backpacked up Maple Mountain. It was about 5 miles up the first day, then 5 miles back down the next. Mason said it was the hardest thing he's ever done. It wasn't fun, but I'm so glad Mason did it. He was worried about it beforehand, but now he knows he can do it. I'm proud of him for doing something so hard.
This is the only picture that was sent to me of him on the trip. Yes, he's roasting a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
