I was in the mood for a day trip, so I hauled my family down to Capitol Reef. We hiked Cassidy Arch, and mostly ran out of steam after that, and went home. Zack did get his junior ranger badge, even though we made it to the visitor’s center 5 minutes after they closed. Parts of that trip were hard: we had kids get lost and grumpy, but it was a beautiful hike and worth going to. Sometimes life isn’t about pleasure, but doing hard and beautiful things.

Some more pictures from the week. Curtis has had basketball, Peter’s done a bunch with band (that he doesn’t actually like, but he is pretty good at), and Henry made a model of the digestive system for school that he also accidentally broke the day it was due. No worries, his dad was around to glue it all back together.
