This year for spring break we decided to make our way out to Moab with five other couples. We hooked up with the Greg Rowberry family, the Darrin Rowberry family, the Howell family, the Jensen family, and the Cutler family. We rented a huge cabin (sleeps 50) about 40 minutes south of Moab. It turned …

St. George Getaway
We made another trek down to St. George this past weekend to spend some time with my dad and Kathy. We also met up with some of our good friends, the Denney’s and the Bergersons, and made it into a fun-filled weekend. Friday morning we woke up bright and early, 5:30 am to be exact, …
Toroweap Overlook
I promised them an adventure they would never forget. And, maybe for the first time, I delivered. We were in Saint George for the long President’s Day weekend. I had wanted to go see the Grand Canyon at Toroweap Overlook, and everything was lining up nicely: the weather, the schedule, the preparations, everything was good. …
Goblin Valley
Several months back, Seth took the scouts to Goblin Valley. After hearing about how much fun they had, I decided to plan a trip there for our family. It didn’t disappoint. We had amazing time together, away, just us, having fun. Friday morning the weather was looking pretty bad. By the time we got packed …
Silver Lake 2012
On Sunday we made our semi-annual trek to Silver Lake up Big Cottonwood Canyon (see the 2010 and 2008 trips). It was a little early to see all the leaves changing but it was still beautiful as ever. We enjoyed a stroll around the lake, feeding the ducks and chasing the squirrels. After the walk …
Labor Day Weekend
This could have been the most jam-packed weekend in the Johnson family history. Our weekend consisted of a cousin campout, a day of boating, a baby blessing, playing at the swimming pool, and of course Labor Day wouldn’t be complete without an Argentine BBQ with some of our good friends! Friday night we had the …
Pioneer Day
This year for Pioneer Day we went with a group of our good friends to Jordanelle State Park. Seth, unfortunately, didn’t get the day off so I took all the kids and met the Francis’, the Browns, and the Denney’s at the park for a fun day in the sun. The Francis’ brought their boat. …
A Vacation to Remember
Last Wednesday we began our thirteen-hour trek to Grand Coulee Dam, Washington to visit my best grade-school buddy, Chantel. We were able to make a few stops along the way to visit some friends and family. Although it was a very long trip, we couldn’t have enjoyed it more. The kids were the best travelers! …
Mystery Outing
Seth works with Oracle through his job. Each year they do a party at Lagoon for customer appreciation. Only a few employees get to go each time and this year it was us! We were thrilled. The kids love Lagoon but it doesn’t justify the cost for our family of eight. It would cost us …
Fathers and Sons
Our ward had its annual Fathers and Sons camp out last weekend. Every time I go camping with the scouts, Drew wants to come along. “This one probably isn’t good for little dudes, buddy,” is my typical response. So Drew was super excited to get to come along this time. Starting about two weeks before …
