Especially Flowers

So for Easter Weekend I went with Ben to visit his family in KANAB. (Yes, it's a real place..)
Kanab is just about an hour southeast of St. George, UT. inbetween Bryce canyon, Zion's National Park, Lake powell and the Grand Canyon (as shown on the map above) :]
It was such a fun weekend. I met his family, who just happen to be amazing.. (just like him) and I got to explore the biddy town of kanab. It was a fun filled weekend of "Don't Eat Pete!", roasting marshmallows/hot dogs over the fire after a hike up something called "squaw trail".. (Yes, i actually used more energy than normal to go on an actual hike) :] We also went to moqui cave to see a friend and learn about the dinosaurs tracks in Southern Utah. (definitely a must see for kanab). and we also were able to hear his brother tom play the bagpipes.. it was soo cool.

He is such a stud for even owning bagpipes... but like everything, it's a work in progress..
Despite all the cool things we did with his family and around town... this was one of the most hilarious things to me..

the greatest EARTH on SHOW... it WAS beautiful.. but this sign still makes me laugh. ESPECIALLY the dedication portion of the monument..
Appreciation and Adoration for ALL growing things...
[Favorite part] "...YOUNG WOMEN and ESPECIALLY FLOWERS" FLOWERS??? REALLY? that just makes me laugh. b/c you know Jana Deen Slade Ott is a super cute old lady that loved all those things.. but overall, she loved FLOWERS the most. just cute/hilarious.
Kinda sad that the only picture of the two of us is in the CAR on the trip back to provo.. oh well.

Thanks for a great time Ben.
