My little family was able to spend a little bit of time in St. George Utah last week, and Zion National Park.
I don’t know about you, but I can never get over how beautiful the red rocks are in Utah. It really is something!
We love to spend time together as a family, and one of our favorite things to do together is to get out into nature and explore and go on adventures. We decided to take the children on a hike at Zion National Park. We ended up hiking up to the upper Emerald pools.
The children were little troopers, and made it to the top! Well, Tommy rode in the backpack.
Norah surprised us this hike, and was Miss speedy on the way down!
It even rained a little, but it was still amazing to be in such a beautiful place!
It’s neat to think this kind of stuff is in our own “back yard” here in Utah!
Have you been to Zion National Park? What’s your favorite hike? Mine is Angels Landing, we couldn’t do it this time with the kids, but boy is it an amazing view from the top!
It’s fun for us to take our kids out and let them explore. I always say that nature is the best babysitter. You just let them free, and they have endless hours of entertainment!
We loved making memories as a family and sharing a fun moment! Be sure to share your moments, and tag them #HDmoment, and Haagen Dazs might share your moment over on their tumblr page.

Can you believe Halloween is almost here?! It even snowed at my house yesterday! The seasons are definitely changing around here.
I had a little Halloween play-date at my house this week for my kiddos and some of their friends!
I thought I’d share a few of the pictures!
I turned some of these oranges “jack o lanterns” and they were a hit with the kids! For some reason an orange is more fun if they look like a pumpkin! (inspiration here)
I also drew some jack o lantern faces on the fruit cups!
I threw together a really easy Halloween party mix. It is also a great option for little toddlers since it has little pieces of cereal and other goodies that kids like!
Here is the easy recipe!
We gave some fun goodie bags with some Halloween loot to all our guests.
and, a few pictures I snapped with my phone, because of course I forgot to grab a picture of the spread after our guest arrived with all their goodies.
I used a glass bottle from ikea to put milk in, then added a little black felt ghost face!
And, we can’t forget our cute party guests all decked out!
The boys were very serious about protecting the planet, ha!
Hope you have a Happy and Safe Halloween!!
