Fairview

Took a while to post these shots, a couple of weeks ago I had some friends from Minnesota come out to go Snowmobiling. We had a ball. I met Dan Skallet years ago on the Annual Polaris Photo shoots. Dan and his buddy Justin Klett come out once a year to play in the mountains of Utah.
I actually attempted to go riding up American Fork on Tuesday, but when we got to the parking lot, there was not enough snow to go for a ride, so I turned around and drove home, after a quick stop @ Cabelas. Zeb and Andrew drove around to the Heber side so they could see if there was enough snow to ride on over there.
These shots are from a couple weeks ago.

Dan tries his best on the rental Arctic Cat, what it lacked in power was made up for with Dan over abundance of skill.

Bryce Canyon

After 2 days in Zions the kids where pretty wore out, so we headed to Bryce Canyon to check out the sights. It was pretty spectacular to say the least, I can't believe I had never been there before, it was awesome!

Zions National Park

We spent Spring Break in Zions with the Family this year. The kids did amazing, we did a lot of hiking and exploring. Neither Michelle nor I had ever been to Zions before, so we took our kids down there for their Spring Break. Here are a few of my favorite shots.
