So I feel like I should go back and catch everyone up on our lives and crap, but honestly it would take way too long and probably bore most people. I think I'll touch on a few highlights of this year and call it good.
We usually try to hit a bunch of slot canyons down there, like Spooky and Peek-a-boo for sure, and then whatever other ones we can find. We usually have at least one great adventure of getting stuck, lost, or otherwise doing something we probably shouldn't. Here's some pics of the kids in the canyons. We don't have a lot of pics because the boys (Jake - 10 and Josh - 7) always go ahead with their cousins and leave Tricia and I back with Sara (4).
We also had a chance to go to Disneyland this year with Grandpa and Grandma Murdock and Tricia's
brother Doug and his family. We had a blast, and I probably haven't walked that far on concrete in a long time. Hiking in the desert and walking in the land o' Mickey are two totally different things, and I know which one I prefer. The kids had a great time, though. We even got to go to the beach and hang out with our Bousfield cousins while we were there. It was Jake's birthday while we were there and Josh's the week before, so we had a little celebration at Joe's Crab Shack (not recommended). Jake got to wear the coconut bra and grass skirt. I'll probably pay more in therapy for him later because I posted this picture.
We love to camp. Tricia and I camped for a long time while we were river guides, and Tricia and her family have been camping for their whole life. I remember camping quite a bit with scouts and then the adventures with the tent trailer growing up, but it's been a whole new adventure getting our own kids into real (kinda) camping.
We try to go every year with Tricia's family to camp in the desert around either Moab, the San Rafael Swell, or most likely Escalante. It's a whole lot of fun camping, hiking the canyons, and doing all kinds of dirty stuff. The kids are actually great at it and seem to enjoy whenever we go down.

Summer is coming (I think) sometime soon, and we can't wait to get out and play in the mountains around Heber...

I'm with you on the camping - nothing like the sublime smell of a good campfire in your hair and on your clothes!! We'll have to do some southwest camping one of these years - it looks beautiful and interesting. So far my experience is mostly mountains, trees, and water.
