Weekend Visit

This last weekend, Ruth got to come back to Cedar City for the first time since moving home. I was super excited to be able to be with her again. Sadly, I had to work quite a bit while she was here, but we did get to spend some time together, and we did get to go on a couple adventures. Thursday night we went out to Three Peaks to roast marshmallows with some old friends. It was fun getting the crew back together to hang out for a bit. Then on Friday afternoon Ruth and I took a drive up the canyon to go to Cedar Breaks. We had been up there once before with some friends, but it was night and we couldn't really see anything. I was really glad we went back up there, because it had some really nice scenery. The view was really nice, and we even saw a little wildlife. We watched a little chipmunk for about five minutes that was just below the lookout point. Then as we were driving back down the canyon we decided to take a side road to see where it went. Just as we turned off the main road, there was just a single lamb laying on the side of the road. We knew that there were a lot of sheep raised in the area, but it was really surprising to see one all by itself that high up in the canyon. The side road adventure didn't last too long because the road dead ended at some type of utilities plant. It was a lot of fun just to get out and go enjoy some more of the area around Cedar City, and it was all made better because Ruth was with me! Well, here are a few pictures from Cedar Breaks. Enjoy!
