Zion National Park

Next stop was Zion National Park. Just as beautiful as Bryce Canyon but in a different way. Zion is MANY times bigger than Bryce Canyon and Majestic in a wonderful way.

Tough nature here in Zion's.

 Beautiful and SO HUGE. I love it!!

 Look what we saw... Can you see them.... They are mountain goats. We saw a whole bunch of them and very close to the road.

Bryce Canyon and Zion National parks

We went on a road trip down through Utah, Las Vegas and to California to see Millika race. Our first stop was Bryce Canyon national park.

First part of Bryce Canyon, beautiful red rocks !!

 One of the MANY fun places to see in the park but it is so hard to get it in pictures.

 Ann and Morfar LOOK how high we are up. Morfar was getting a little dizzy :o)

 Ann, Mormor and Morfar. How I LOVE MY parents. They are the BEST!!!

Turkey Trot at Bountiful Reg center

Millika and Haley ran at the turkey trot this year together for fun. It was a 5 KM race and that is nothing for these ladies :o)

Millika took first in her age group 15-18 year old girl and had a great race. Mormor and Morfar were here to see her run. AWESOME to have them here!!

 

At the end of the race. She had it going for sure!!

Haley took 3rd in the group and Millika first! They won pies, lucky for us Millika shared :o)

 

And here is the turkey we had for dinner :o)

 Mormor helping as always in the kitchen. Wonderful to have them here for Thanksgiving!

Millika in the Finals for Student Scholar Athlete of the year with KUTV

As some of you might already know Millika was Scholar Athlete of the Week with "Talking Sports" on Channel 2 KUTV. Well she made it into the finals and she had to send in a video with the reason why she is the one that deserves the $5000 scholarship. Here is the video that we made and the wait begins to see if she can win. But that she even made it to the finals is just AWESOME. Way to Millika!!

Millika and McKay took 2nd place in each their own category. McKay in Advanced and Millika in novice! Way to go guys you are the BEST!!

Millika got the MVP in Cross Country again this year!

Millika is a sophomore at Woods Cross High School and this is her second year running Cross Country her absolute FAVORITE. She is very good at it and has a blast running the 3 miles or 5 km. Again this year she won the Most Valuable Player (runner) for the girls on the team. You have to win most races to get this that is the only way to win. She has had a WONDERFUL season and it is just getting better and better every year!!

Same trophy just a different year :o)
