Canyonlands National Park

-

 It was time to get acquainted with and explore Moab, Utah. At the top of our list was Arches, but Canyonlands, although not quite as popular, definitely had much to display. We are so happy to say we did not pass this one up.








After a quick stop at the visitor center for a film, Junior Ranger book, and a look around, we were off!





Grab those trekking poles! Let's go!!









Stunned by the view of desert trails among the various formations as the sand blew around and around, we turned our focus to the background featuring snowcapped mountains. What depth! The eyes can hardly take it all in.






























With many sandy steps logged for the day and tummies now growling, this picnic area with a view was a welcomed sight. We unpacked and held on tight hoping to not lose our potato chips to the wind whirling around our heads. 






A unique and barren tree provided more than a cool view.  Can you say natural playground?









Canyonlands! What a place!! More on the way soon😀

Home on the Bayou

  We are back for a stay on the bayou.  Home, for the time being, is the Picou Farm.🐎🐔🌱 We have been graciously welcomed to park and stay a while, and it feels like we never left😊 We don't keep our windows closed much lately as we might miss out on the sounds provided by the farm. We have experienced many different places, sights, and sounds, but there is definitely something special about living among these characters. Many of the images below were captured by a quick peek out of our windows. Beauty!!  .....precious family time, l💞ving on the bayou grandbabes😊, and just plain fun..... A quick drive from Cut Off takes us to some Greensburg Naquin moochdocking time😁 While enjoying time here again, we decided a visit to the Audubon Aquarium and Insectarium had to happen. Fun at the Boat & RV Show in Houma

Laurel, MS

  Any true fan of HGTV's "Home Town" featuring Ben & Erin Napier will appreciate the following. We surely did enjoy our time here. It is a truly lovely and beautiful place!! If you have the opportunity, book a ride with a tour guide. This was a wonderful experience! While waiting for a place on the tour cart, we enjoyed lunch, strolling through the downtown area and its charming shops, and fun time at the park. This restaurant has a one-of-a-kind idea. Instead of handing out crayons and activity menus  to their young guests, they opt for Wikki Stix to create art on the walls. Brilliant!! This area caught my eye as one that Ben and Erin may, at some point, signal out to add to Laurel's beauty. But, even now it offers a certain antique mystique of its own. What follows are the images taken as we rode around town learning more about Laurel and some of the homes featured on the show.  Believe it or not, this 6-year-old thoroughly enjoyed his time here. He's defini...

Zion National Park

Coming in at the very top on Utah's list of most visited national parks and third on the entire nation's we have Zion National Park. Since it is rated so high, one must be prepared to battle crowds at every turn. Even that, though, could not overshadow Zion's beauty. Cannon is gaining photography skills as he backs up to frame Mom & Dad in this one while we all do the park sign shuffle😁 And he sweetly poses in front of the camera for his own shots. With the formality all taken care of, let's jump in! Zion Wildlife sightings always make our heart skip a beat! It's time for some tunnel fun! If we have to be walled in, we choose this way.  Let's hike! The reward...... Sadly, sometimes you just have to exit the park. Check out those winding roads beneath us😲 Just when we thought the day was done amazing us, we turned our gaze to the right to behold these great creatures. Nice bonus!! Thanks again Utah!! You are pretty spectacular!
