Week Twelve

Can you believe we’ve been here three months?!? Me neither! The end is drawing near so we are soaking up our time here. 

Fun facts: 

We have listened to home on the range about 16,283 times during this stent. The boys can each sing it word for word. We’ve listened to it via many different versions all the way from Gene Autry to Elmo 🤣 

We found some potatoes! We might start really harvesting a few rows before we leave woot woot! We got to do a taste sample and they were pretty tasty!!

Gas here is $3.59 🙄 

When asked where their favorite spot has been Mac and Merrick say here 9 out of 10 times. I was honestly a little worried about how they would like it here. No swimming pool, no play ground, no streets to ride bikes, no jumping pillow. But they love it here without any of that. It’s been so fun to see them grow and learn to play and imagine! 

I wear overalls 95% of the time at work 👩🏼‍🌾

We’ve seen more big horn sheep in the last week than we ever have in our lives! 

Garden babies are here!!! Tiny squash and tomatoes have shown themselves!!

A hummingbird got IN OUR CAMPER!!! We have no clue how, Merrick opened the door when we got home from work and there it was just fluttering around!

Zion National Park made the news with flash floods and park closures….we were on the other side of the mountain and got 0.04 inches of rain 🙃 

But on that note…Arizona and Southern Utah have monsoons….you heard me right there is a “monsoon season” and it’s just like it sounds heavy torrential  down pours and wind. They it pops up out of no where and is gone in a flash but the effects of it can be devastating. 

We hiked up and saw this view of Zion. Amazing piece of God’s handy work!!
