A few days after returning from the trip to Alaska, we decided to go on a family outing to Buckhorn Draw, an area about twenty minutes away from our home. It's part of the San Rafael Swell and has some great spots for the kids to just get out and run. We saw some freaky singing hippies, that "were NOT MODEST" as Kimball pointed out at the petroglyph panels, got smoked out by some other hippy chick that was either high or drunk, saw Butch Cassidy's old stomping grounds, met a couple photographers/reporters for the Salt Lake Tribune, and enjoyed some sunshine and warm weather.
We stopped by the Swinging Bridge (the only suspension bridge in Utah, if anyone cares) and enjoyed climbing over, under, and around it. Jared, Koria, and Kimball had a rock-skipping contest that I didn't join in. I stuck to keeping K&K out of the river.
Jared did his best to keep Luke and Layne happy too.
In complete contrast to the scenery that I'd just been surrounded by a few days prior to in Alaska, I enjoyed the fact the beauty can be found anywhere you are at ...
... especially with family. (That's a dinosaur track, BTW, not just K&K throwing their hips out of place.)

That bridge picture ROCKS!
Can't wait to see your kids this summer. (I guess you guys too.)
Wow you guys have your hands full..double the fun, right?
All I can say is that you are amazing with your 4 kids! I was thinking since Jon and Kate + 8 got divorced, maybe there's a time slot for your family to take their place. It could be called "J+K+4" You would be way more entertaining to watch and you would become a rich reality star!
I love the Alaska hats! Cool dinosaur tracks too!
