Master Bathroom Floor

Finished floor

Heat pads in place

It was pretty fun putting in our bathroom floors. Tile is a lot of work, but are pretty rewarding as you can turn around and see the progress. We fell in love with these cement tiles, and have ended up using them in a few different patterns throughout the house. We also found out how nice it is to wake up to a warm bathroom floor so we also installed under-floor warming systems into each of the bathrooms. We're almost two years into this remodel and it will be very nice to have a second bathroom for the family.

East Canyon Lake

About 45 minutes from home into Immigration Canyon you come to East Canyon Lake, which is a really nice place for some boating. We've had a lot of fun on a couple of summer trips up there this year.

Just don't ask Jeff about his wake-boarding skills.

Zion National Park High Adventure

view from the top of Angel's Landing

that peak is Angel's Landing - 1488 feet up

Last weekend was our High Adventure Scout trip at Zion National Park. It was pretty awesome. The Angel's Landing hike was one of the clear highlights. It's a steep 5 mile hike, but it's the last half mile climbing with the aid of a chain and a drop off of 1400 feet on either side of you that makes it famous. A few things stood out to me: 1. I can't believe they let you do it at all 2. I was shocked at the number of people on the trail. There's just one trail, so navigating people coming from the opposite direction was the biggest challenge 3. Although there are some people who have fallen, I'm surprised it's so few. The view from the top is incredible, and what makes it such an attraction.

We also did some repelling, an ATV tour, and a water hike through the Narrows. We're pretty lucky to have this in our backyard.

not a terrible place for lunch
