Exploring near Purgatory

On the 11th of Oct we tried to hiking with Papa Lilga. We pickup Papa and headed towards Purgatory. Purgatory is just east of Leeds and a fun amount of dirt road for me. The weather was a bit cold that day and actually snowed a little right after these pictures. We mostly bajaed over the dirt roads around it since it was to cold and winding to hike. Near the end of the road is when we found this wash. Brayden had so much fun in the sand. If we released that boy to the outside, he would stay out 24/7/365.

A Few good hikes.

As with most trails this sign says it all. We had good weekend on the 18th. On Saturday the 18th we went with Melanie and some friends to a hike into Snow Canyon from Winchester hills. We played in a slot Canyon and saw some cool petroglyph. Then the next day we went on the chuawala trial right in St. George. That is were Brayden and Nate are at the sign. We then went up to a little arch and also played in an alcove. Both hikes were fun for the whole family. In was in the 80s near then end of both hikes. More pictures are to come.

What's in a name?

So I have no idea of a name for our son that we are expecting. I have always liked the name Brandon. But with Bryan, Brayden and then a Brandon, Rachel might get us mixed up. Milo is the name that is growing on Rachel. I like it however the ring of it just isn't hitting the spot. I have always loved family history names. Even if those names have to be the middle one. Ricks, Kent, and David are some that I have thought of. Earl, Eric, and Ken are from Rachel's side. Let me know what you think.
