Grand Canyon with Teo, Ada’s Graduation, My Birthday

28-30 April, 1-2 May 2021

Bryce Canyon
Teo climbed out on lots of cliffs
We hiked down in a little bit
Glen Canyon Dam
Hiked down over these cool rocks to the overlook
Just caught the end of the sunset before I had to go pick up dinner in Page
Saw the Grand Canyon from various viewpoints along the South Rim
Teo requested the Grand Canyon specifically as the destination for our road trip
Listened to good music and played the category game all the way back to Page
We have a photograph of Horseshoe Bend so it was cool to finally see it in person
Teo pretty well freaked me out looking for the perfect shot
This was freaking scary!
There were swarms of gnats that we had to contend with, so we took this shot really fast
Overlooking Lake Powell
Teo opted out of the 15 minute trek to the water’s edge…
…but I really wanted to put my feet in so I carried on 🙂
Short stop at Pipe Spring National Monument (last time it has just closed when I got there)
Beautiful with cool native dwellings
Ada, Alex, and Steve joined us at Coral Pink Sand Dunes
Sand Angel
Teo and I stopped at Cedar Breaks for quick photos on our way to the condo we rented at Brian Head. The others went to Cedar City to get Ada’s stuff.
The next day, Ada graduated!
Ada and friends pose in the fountain
Teri and Anne made a huge poster with photos of family members on it since they couldn’t come down. Super cute!
Graduated Magna Cum Laude 🙂
Went to the museum of art to check out the senior collection
We were all on our laptops at one point. Had a good time looking at old photos and reminiscing
Played Concept
We had to leave the condo early Sunday morning so we went to a park in Ephraim and played our new fun game, Wavelength. The we went back to Cedar City and ate Chili’s takeout at a different park.
I made myself a carrot cake for my birthday (Alex grated all the carrots and also made me dinner) 🙂
