Southern Utah family

One of the perks of planning our vacation in southern Utah was being able to see so many of my LeFevre relatives. It had been 10 years since I had seen some of them and it was so much fun getting to catch up with them.

Some extra pics not already in the other posts from our time in Hurricane and Zion:

Kathy took us to the sand dunes and Parker said that he wanted to get out and touch the sand. He immediately started making a sand angel, but realized the consequence of doing so was to eat some of the sand that blew up in his face, bummer.

Me with some of my dad's siblings: Aunt Loretta, Aunt Miriam, and Uncle Dave

Kathy and Chris were so welcoming to our family. The really rolled out the red carpet by hosting us at their house for 2 nights and feeding us amazing food! So we had them "over for dinner" at our campsite - it probably wasn't quite as good, but the company was great!

Uncle Dave and Aunt Chris got the ball rolling for our family hike to Angel's Landing

When Danny heard that we were in town, he loaded up his boys and met us at Zion's lodge as we finished our hike. What a great cousin!

Parker with my cousin's daughter, Maren. Proof that Parker has lots of LeFevre genes in him - they look like brother and sister!

Kathy dropped most of her plans while we were in southern Utah. She came up to our campground every day and spent as much time as she could with us.

As we left Zion, we drove to the little cemetery just outside the park to see my uncle Harlon's grave. We hadn't been there since the funeral 10 years ago. What an amazing view from his grave!

Our trip to southern Utah reminded me of how important eternal families are. I am grateful to have such a large, wonderful family and it was great to feel so loved by everyone during our brief visit.
