Some Strange Place

To cap off our family reunion weekend in St. George, we visited Snow Canyon.  It feels like another planet!  The sand feels sweet beneath the feet, and the plants add an ocean of bright aqua.

 So bright, in fact, that as we walked through the canyon and glanced down at our arms, our skin looked blue!  Pictures don't capture the magical color. 

But they do capture some of the fun.  Gravity check:

After playing in the sand dunes, we drove through the canyon, and then some of us made the return trip to the park entrance on our bikes.  It was about a three mile ride, and 97% of it was downhill!  We smiled the entire way down.  We saw birds, butterflies, and chipmunks, and even a long black and yellow snake on the trail...Olivia joined the I Spy fun and pointed out some other familiar creatures: "See those humans?"....but no gila monsters, and no turtles.  Maybe next time.
