Goblin Valley and Mother's Day

Over my spring break, we decided to go visit Goblin Valley in Southern Utah, and go on a few hikes. Goblin Valley is a perfect place for little kids, with innumerable opportunities to climb and explore. Then we went on a hike through Little Horse Canyon. The boys did remarkably well, especially Evan, whose has mini-legs. We stayed at a hotel one night and enjoyed the pool, and had a great trip overall. Here are some pictures:

On Mother's Day, I received a hand-made book from Wesley.  On the cover, it stated "My Best Mom."  Here are my favorite pages from his creation:

 "My mom is scared of spiders."

 "My mom is 60."  

I suppose I remember the time when I thought my parents were ancient, but that last one still stung a little. Wesley's big hug after he gave me the book mollified my wounded pride a bit.  But then, when Jeff asked Wesley, "Your mom is the best mom ever, isn't she?" he paused thoughtfully and then replied, "Yes, but only on Mother's Day."  I guess it's nice to know that at least one day of the year I get my due.  I'll take what I can get.
