Family Walk

Even thought Rick has had to go to Arizona for 6 weeks and Idaho for 2 weeks so far this school year, the times that he is in Utah have been wonderful. All the rotations he does in Utah are the elective ones... so we get to pick where they are! And we pick really nearby ones :) During 2nd and 3rd years, he was just assigned and he had to go where they told him, which sometimes was a very, very long commute. Sometimes he had a 1-1.5 hour drive each way! So he was driving nearly 3 hours per day, not to mention the long days he had in the office or hospital. So even though this year will require a lot of traveling, the times he is in Utah, the rotations are a lot better and we get to see him more. One evening we decided to go on a little family walk, and I love when we get to do that! Here are some pictures:

The wispy clouds and sun setting on the mountains
was the perfect end to our walk.

Hogle Zoo

When we were living in Arizona we had a pass to the Phoenix Zoo. A lot of zoos throughout the U.S. make it so if you have a pass at one, you can get in free or for a good discount at other zoos. So before our AZ pass expired, we decided we should take a trip up to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake. We got our whole family in for really cheap and it wasn't very crowded at all, probably because it was on the colder side that day. But we all bundled up and it ended up being a great day out as a family! 

Since we were already up in Salt Lake, we decided to spend the second part of the day at the children's museum. So I also have added pictures from that trip too. I love all the time we have been able to spend together before next month gets really crazy and busy with all of the residency interviews Rick will be traveling to!
