Dead Horse PointNothing stops a mother's heart like your children running along the edge of a 2000 foot cliff. It's amazing that none of us dropped dead right there on the spot.

I love that photo of all of us womenfolk, and the trip was so awesome! I love hanging with you guys and look forward to doing it again in the spring.
