We had visitors!

Todd's much older brother :o) Larry, and his wife Wendi, and boys (Devon, Brandon, Joshua, Zachary, and Coby) came to visit this weekend. Even though they were only here for a day, we had a great time. I was a little disappointed that we had nearly 6 inches of snow in Capitol Reef, so the red rock wasn't as spectacular peeking out of the snow, but it was still pretty. After going to Capitol Reef, we ate lunch at the Sunglow where they tried our famous Pickle Pie, and then we went to Big Rocks (a mile from our house). We found a geocache there, and then let the boys "be boys" and climb on the rocks.

The hills are alive...with the sound of music....Okay not really,
but doesn't this picture remind you of that movie?

Here's Dillon, lifting a huge boulder in search of an M&M.
Hey, when you need some chocolate, you'll do whatever it takes. :o)

Sam would gladly move a mountain in search of chocolate also.

Did you get your bathroom done before they came?
