Sisterly Visit


When a sister comes to visit
you'll share your favorite coffee shop with her
she'll ask you questions about roommates and friends
and you'll be glad to introduce them to her

When a  sister comes to visit
you'll overwhelm her with all the people that live in your house
you'll bombard her with ideas of things to do
until you finally decide to get in the car and drive

When a sister comes to visit
you'll go on a hike, that turns into a night hike
see the eyes of a ring tailed cat
increase the volume of your talking to scare it away

When a sister comes to visit
you'll share your favorite recipes
eat noodles that have been spilled into a camp sink
swap books that you've been reading

When a sister comes to visit
you'll seek out an oasis to cool off
spend a morning admiring a family of bobbing birds 
wake up early and do yoga to the sunrise

When a sister comes to visit
you'll hike, hike, hike

When a sister comes to visit
you'll share the ups and downs of life

All when a sister comes to visit.



The day hike that turned into a night hike

In Bryce

Yes, we got in late from our hike the previous night and still woke up for yoga at sunrise.
That's how hardcore we are.

Aftermath of yoga

Stopped at this cute little coffee place on our way to Escalante

This is still Utah. The oasis in Calf Canyon

Camped beside a creek.  Witnessed the family of bobbing birdies

A little view of Escalante
