We just got back yesterday from a little vacation with my sister's fam. We drove down and did some hikes in the Moab area over a few days. Here are some of the highlights: No jackets (mostly)! Gross hotel pool! Cool rock stuff! Funny kid antics! Pretty scenery!
Here are da Lefgrens. They are pretty cool. Lucy doesn't know how to pose for pictures yet (far left).
Girls in a "cave". Emma and Lucy had more fun searching for "caves" than actually hiking.
A cute picture of Lucy. She almost smiled!
Henry looking cute. That's Corona Arch in the background (Cool Rock Formation #1). It kinda blends in with the rock behind it, but if you look at the shadow you can tell it's legit.
CRF #2. It looks like a monster. It went along well with the story Henry told the kids about the whole area being a Zombie Reservation.
A good close-up of CRF#1, Corona Arch. Some crazies hiked up to the top. Luckily they did not fall to their death in front of the kiddies.
Henry being confused as to what this contraption is. A phone? That you pay to use? What?!?! Our children will probably have the same reaction (being raised in the cell phone age and all).
CRF #3. Another arch thingy. There was an extreme drop off just on the other side of the arch, so we're actually really REALLY brave just to be sitting there. Give us props.
CRV (Cool Rock View). JP and Noah fell off the edge, but no one really misses them much.And last but not least.... the video that kinda sums up Lucy's attitude on the whole trip. She was extremely obstinate and wanted to be independent while hiking and climbing on rocks. I really am hoping to show this video to her future husband someday... hopefully to show how much she's changed:
We had a lot of good laughs over just how true to her personality this is and just how different she is than the rest of her siblings (they are all really good, obedient kids). We love her even though she is crazy.

Oh man. Lar's response to her is the best - ha.
The hiking looks wonderful. Not too bad living next to some of the best canyons in the world.
We met a guy last night that may know Henry. He just got into HLS and his name is Tyson? He's really really blonde and tall.
yeah it was nice to see some more pretty desert before we leave utah. and henry knows tyson and says he's really smart. they have a hard math class together right now.
I think I love Lucy more because she's crazy.
i don't know how anyone should/would/will react to knowing this, but i was JUST like Lucy at that age...
perhaps i still have those tendencies...ahem...e.g. when so frequently yelling at Tori, YOU'RE STUPID! GO AWAY!!!
i watched this video of Lucy again just now to giggle :) love herrr!!!!
