Monday, February 7, 2011 Like our previous day at Newport Beach, Monday dawned with the promise of beautiful weather. I think the high was supposed to be 77 degrees, and we were really looking forward to fun in the sun at Disneyland. However, before we could get out the door, we had a few things …

Vacation Day 1: Newport Beach
I usually don’t read anyone’s travelogues detailing what happened on their family vacation, so I don’t expect you to either. Skim through, look at pictures, watch the video, and I will understand. I’m writing this more for my own memory than for anyone else. Sunday, February 6, 2011 We woke up early in St. George …
Getting left behind
Poor little Ellie, I feel bad for her. But, she’s brought this upon herself. You see, Ellie doesn’t travel well. She’s a horrible traveler, actually. And now, she will be left behind. The entire family is taking a much-needed vacation to Disneyland here in the near future. We’ve been planning this trip for more than …
Reviewing Twenty Ten
I did this same thing for 2008 and 2009, so it just wouldn’t be right if I forget about 2010. Here is my annual year-in-review post highlighting some of the best posts from this last year: January 2010: Not a whole lot of activity here on the blog because we were very busy packing up …
Family Staycation
This summer has been jam-packed full of stuff, but we haven’t had much time to get out on a real vacation. We planned to head to Washington to spend a week with my best friend from high school but due to a few snags in our plans that has been postponed. The kids were bummed …
Silver Lake Flat
Sunday afternoon after naps Seth got this idea that we should drive up AF Canyon and have a little cookout by Silver Lake Flat reservoir. Everyone was excited so we packed up real quick and headed out. Seth conveniently forgot to tell me we would be 4×4’ing up the mountain on a dirt road with …
Hiking in Moab
We decided it was time for another hiking trip. It has been several years since our last Moab trip, so we decided to go again. Spencer, Rachel and their kids joined us which made the trip even more fun. Together, we rented a condo instead of a hotel and that was a genius idea. We …
Farewell 2009
Happy New Year, everyone! MightyJohnsons.com is now officially two years old, and we’ve documented some great (and some not so great) moments. As we did last year, we now look back at our favorite articles of the year. January 2009: nothing is better than coming in from the cold to have some super soup. February …
Happy Mother’s Day to me!
This Mother’s day has brought me a lot of wonderful surprises. Most holidays in our family are pretty low-key but not this time! My Mother’s day festivities started off with a Mother’s Day tea with Katelyn’s preschool class. They performed some fun songs and even recited a sweet little poem. They also served us vegetables …
Some modest milestones
Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game using a GPS, and it’s our latest family hobby. You can find out more about geocaching by reading the FAQs and also on wikipedia. Our family loves being outdoors and exploring this beautiful state, and so geocaching is something we can all enjoy together. The kids particularly like finding …
