New Year's in St. George

We went down to St. George, Utah in the southern part of the state with some friends for NewYear's. The weather was great, as was the company, and the pictures here are a combination from Snow Canyon State Park and Zion National Park. Happy New Year!

"Is this Park City? No, Mommy, we're going back to Park City actually to stay with Uncle Eric"

Our friend Eric is in town for a few days and Amara was thrilled! We enjoyed seeing him too :-)

Getting ready for Sundance

Hey, who was that handsome man?

Holidays!

Happy Hanukkah!

Amara made this great menorah at school - out of marshmallows and frosting and birthday candles :-)

At the Children's Museum in Austin

This one's for you, Grandpa Joe!

And then my dinosaur ATE your dinosaur for breakfast!

This is the coolest instrument ever, although I think I liked it more than Amara. I call it a bop-organ, where you bop the different colored tubes with a padded paddle and it makes music!

Some of Austin's famous BBQ

One of the legendary BBQ joints - you place your order in a smokehouse room and it is handed to you on red butcher paper, that you plop down on a table to eat straight off the paper...no forks allowed

And my favorite part was the stack(s) of wood out back to feed the BBQ...wow.
