MightyJohnsons.com is now a year old, and in the honor of the god Janus (for whom January is named) we’ll take a look back at 2008 before looking ahead to the new year. So, here are some of our favorite posts from 2008. What a year! January: Drew’s arrival trumps everything else. Five kids. Wow. …

Anasazi Ridge
The oldest three kids and I made the hike to Anasazi ridge during our Thanksgiving trip to St. George. Anasazi ridge (also known as Land Hill) is kind of a strange place. There is no real trail head, no signs on how to get there. It’s public BLM-owned land, but it’s a tough place to …
Hiking the Narrows at Zion
Zion National Park is one of my favorite places on earth. I love the scenery and the hikes. It’s a place people come from all over the world to see, and that I have access to it with just a short drive. So when my cousin Ben (I’d link to his blog, but it’s one …
Les Miserables in Tuacahn
This weekend our family made a quick trip to St. George to visit my dad. Seth thought it would be a good idea for my dad and I to sneak out for a “daddy/daughter” date and go see Les Miserables at the Tuacahn Theatre in St. George. I have not been to very many musicals …
Midway Getaway
Last week we enjoyed a “Mike and Jan Johnson” family reunion in Midway. It consisted of two days for “girls only” (with the exception of little Drew who joined us). We spent those days eating out, shopping in Park City, swimming in the pool at the condo and playing games. The boys then joined us …
MWC Tournament
Our beloved BYU Cougars finished as regular season champions for the second year in a row and were ranked #24 in the country heading into the Mountain West Conference tournament. The tournament is in Las Vegas, so we figured it would be a short drive from Manina’s dad’s home in St. George.
Surviving in a Snowcave
Several weeks ago I had the “opportunity” to go snowcaving with our scouts. I am the assistant scoutmaster so I frequently head out on these types of adventures, but none are as hard core as our annual snowcave trip. It’s enough to make me feel like a regular Bear Grylls. “I’m going to show you …
Fun in the Sun
At home we still have a lot of snow on the ground. When the opportunity came to escape the cold and drive down to warmer weather for a long weekend we jumped at the chance. St. George is a great getaway this time of year. After church today we decided to visit Snow Canyon. It’s …
