Macbeths' Madhouse: Kanarraville Hike

About Us

Brad: The best daddy in the whole world! He was made for this whole fatherhood thing, I'm sure of it! he is managing a huge Auto Body shop in costa Mesa called ICC. he really enjoys all the high-end cars he gets to work with, but could do without the high-end (AKA high maintenance) customers. he is the Sunbeam teacher in our ward and all his little 3-4 year olds just love him! He loves his girls and is completely wrapped around both of their fingers! Becky: Absolutely loving being a mommy! The entire experience is so much greater than I ever could have imagined. I am loving this summer even more than the rest (if that's even possible!) and truly believe that summer is God's gift to the world - or, at least teachers! Going back in the fall will be killer. But as for now, loving all the fun times with my girls! Libby: The most energetic little bugger around! She is the ultimate chatter-box and wows us daily with all of the things she can say. She is loud, lively, and so much fun! She loves the beach, the park, Disneyland, Shamu, singing, coloring, and anything that involves getting wet. Lexi: The spunkiest little thing around! She has quite the little personality and keeps us all entertained with her drunken zombie stagger, her "blue steel" face, and her complete and total obsession with food. She loves the outdoors, tearing things apart, making messes, and books.

Kanarraville Hike

One morning we gathered up the troops and drove down to Kanarraville (near Zion National Park) to go on a hike through some slot canyons and waterfalls. It turned out to be amazing and did not disappoint! My girls made it the whole way - woo hoo!

All the hikers ready to go!

At our first sight of water, the girls were both ecstatic! Little did they know all the water that was coming...

Libby the poser

Feet hit the water and never looked back! Rock throwing occurred all along the way, of course.

I got to carry Lexi 90% of the way, but it was incredible and I wouldn't have wanted her to miss it. This is just one of the many amazing views of the slot canyons - pictures don't do it justice!

Libby hiked the entire 3.5 miles all by herself - what a trooper!

It was a bit more precarious with Lexi, but our three-man handoff worked great!

Only a few of us went on to the last "ladder". I left the girls behind on that one. Here is Summer on the ladder part, then it's a log just leaning up against the waterfall. It looked scary, but it really wasn't bad at all - just not something I'd take the girls up if I didn't have to.

We made it! Summer and me at the farthest point we went to. (Apparently it goes on like that for awhile, but we were satisfied and needed to get back to the ones we left behind.

By the time we got back to the cars, we were all pretty exhausted. Good thing the Stewarts' friends had lemonade and homemade salsa awaiting us!

I was so proud of Libby doing it all by herself and so glad my girls are troopers so I don't have to miss out on all the fun, either. I sure do love them!!!
