Here's a quick update on the vacation! We stayed with Grandma Marie for a week at her cabin. The cabin is by Navajo Lake if you know where that is...it's east of Cedar City. Anyway, We had a great time together, and Evelyn and Felicity really bonded with their great grandma.
 Evelyn was really intrigued by Grandma's big teddy bear. At first she was too shy to touch it, but eventually she warmed up to it. It was cute!
Evelyn loved being outdoors, and her favorite place was the meadow. She loved finding flowers and filling holes with rocks. She found a few horny toads which she called "corner toads."
 Clarisse and I were able to go out and do some exploring due to Grandma's kind babysitting. We were able to see some amazing sites including Cascade Falls.
 The hike to Cascade Falls has great mountain views as well as strange red rock formations. The falls are unusual; the water comes out of a hole in the cliff.


 We also visited Strawberry Point and looked out on those amazing red cliffs. I didn't go out onto the "point" of Strawberry Point at the request of Grandma and Clarisse. Instead I just observed the view from a safe distance.
There's so much we could tell about the vacation, but I am out of time and pictures. We really enjoyed playing board games with Grandma as well as eating cookies and delicious meals. Thanks for all you did to make the trip special for us Grandma Marie!
