 After the baptism, anyone that wanted to went over to Chick-fil-A.  It was great, no pressure for anyone!



 ...then somehow, we ended up with an spontaneous bounce house party!  It was a blast!  Not what we had planned, but all the kids loved it, and the adults were able to relax and enjoy! 















Nora, Mike, Barrack, and Kori.
Fun day with Family and Friends!

Buckskin Gulch May 21, 2018

Buckskin Gulch is the longest slot canyon in the world. 
 21 miles!  
We did it all in one day.
 Savanah, Julie, Derek, Caitlyn, Dean, and Erika.
Started our hike at 7:00 a.m.












 While hiking that long, you tend to get a little silly!


 Lunch!













 Yep, that's a rattle snake.
 These tired people are amazing! 
 Cool hike. 
We had a blast!

Finished our hike at 7:30 p.m.
