Spring is bringing Visitors & Crazy Weather!

We have had Sun, Clouds, Hail, Flurries, Sprinkles and Wind and that was all on Wednesday!
Here are some great photos taken on a hike just across from Best Friends yesterday.

See the orange Best Friends sign in the distance?

It never rained on us!

Awesome Hiking in Kanab, Utah

Two of my favorite hikes that are less than three miles from my house are the Bunting Trail and Hog Canyon.

Hummer Tour!

This December we reserved our guest rooms for our family!  I have always wanted to visit/hike Peek-a-Boo slot canyon.  We do not have a four wheel drive (I know I know but 8 years ago we moved from Houston - no need for a four wheel drive there) so we decided to take a Hummer Tour.

It was so much fun and our guide Ken shared many stories and facts about the canyon and area that I didn't know. My parents had a great time and are still talking about it!

Best Friend's Animal Society gets a new sign!

The old sign is gone now but when we too the photo the old was was still up.  You can see that the new one will be easier for visitors to find. 

Summer 2013

Snow!

It seems like every year in March or April we have warm sunny weather and then wake up to a huge amount of snow.  I was able to go snowshoeing before it all melted.   It is so beautiful.  In all of  the photos there is so much snow that you cannot see the red rocks in the background.

Art - Bubblewrap Jewelry and a Dream Tree

Addy and I found a cool way to re-purpose bubble wrap.  If you use parchment paper and an iron you can melt the bubble wrap sheets together and they eventually form a flat plastic sheet that resembles mother-of-pearl.  Check out the link here there is a book called Jewelry Upcycled! by jewelry expert and bestselling author Sherri Haab.
