Rocks in a jar


Today we broke these rocks into pieces from the big slab we hauled back from St. George, Utah. Now they have a home on Noah's top shelf. I'm thinking I need to add a jar full of acorns from the Michigan woods. Remind me in the summer.


We chiseled these babies right off a wall down in the Glitter Pits. A drive out to the desert and a short walk around mounds of glitter with a pile of cousins got us to the right spot. We seriously took a hammer to the wall and filled up a bag.

Another day we climbed and lugged and hopped around this great red rock park with the same pile of neices and nephews. Dave and I couldn't get enough of St. George blue sky and sweatshirt temperatures. It was lovely.


Yet another day found us at the sand dunes in Snow Canyon. A huge sand turtle was made, super deep holes were dug, and of course a jumping contest was had.

Jamison

Parker

My vote's on Jamison for distance and definitely Parker for style. What's your vote?

Maybe I should have brought home some red sand. And could someone please figure out how to put some blue sky in a jar? Noah's top shelf could really start to fill up.

Love the pictures, Jessie! We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to St. George--thanks for reminding us of some of the choice moments. And, we have some red sand under our van in the garage. . . care for an envelope in the mail full o' sand?

We love you and can't wait to see you again.

Love the idea of preserving your vacation in a jar.

You were in St. George and you didn't come to Orem to see me?! ;-)
