Richard&#8217;s parents, his brother Russ and his family, and his sister Shari and two of her sons, and Rebecca&#8217;s daughter Susannah came with us. We had a great time walking beside the red sandstone cliffs. The cousins were very happy together. We brought a picnic lunch of fried chicken, rolls, and fruit which we ate ravenously after our adventures on the Johnson Canyon walk.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed that the uniform of the day was fluorescent colors for most of the kids. They made a pretty rainbow along the path as they hurried ahead of the group.<\/p>\n<p>We saw many families on bicycles in the park, and someday maybe we&#8217;ll do that. It seems funny that we haven&#8217;t taken advantage of this canyon before with the kids.<\/p>\n<p>We landed at Rebecca&#8217;s house and ate cinnamon rolls and played on her swing (well, some of us). Sparky treed one of her cats and generally bothered Rebecca&#8217;s other cats. The adults went out for Mexican food that evening and had a great time.<\/p>\n<p>As we talked about the day, Richard remembered all of the years of hearing about family gatherings and not being able to participate. Now we&#8217;re living a very different life with our parents and many siblings nearby. I am glad to be able to be within a few hours drive to the red rocks of southern Utah and the nice folks that live among them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We decided to take the kids to Snow Canyon on Saturday.
