Zion's 2018

Having "Spring Break" in March in Idaho is kind of a joke. We're just beginning Second Winter. We wanted something warm and Zion's seemed like the closest such place. We enjoyed it immensely, but the drive-time-to-enjoyment ratio was roughly break even with 14 hours round trip for just a day and a half of hiking. Though I did get to practice my tire changing skills when we picked up a nail exiting Springdale.

My Caleb

My Caleb turned 12 yesterday. Among those who view this blog, most are LDS or familiar with LDS traditions. Age 12 is an important milestone. Later today, I will ordain Caleb to the priesthood. Next week, I will take him to the temple for the first time. Next Sunday, he will participate in passing the sacrament to our congregation.

I am very impressed with Caleb. He is a good young man. I frequently learn from his example. Being his father is a special blessing and privilege.
