Oh, your trip sounds just awesome! So glad that all of your boys had a wonderful time--they are braver than I am--I don't do those mountain rides--Yikes! Thanks for sharing your trip with us. And your BYU friends are awesome to have done this wonderful trip for such an awesome family. I hope that the trip will help heal your tender hearts. What wonderful memories.

Fun, fun, fun! Wish we'd randomly run into you this time, too. So happy for your wonderful adventure!
