The Heaton Ranch

Whew! We're finally home. It's nice to go on vacation and nice to come home! We spent almost an entire week hanging out at the ranch and doing day trips to nearby sights. Dallin and Garrett played hard and long and were very dirty and happy every day. Adam wasn't able to come with us, sadly, and we missed him!

The Heaton Ranch is about 30 min north of Kanab, Ut.


One of our day trips was to Pipe Springs (near Moccosin, Ut) where Jan's Grandfather helped to build this fort. Jan spent many summers here and it was fun to visit and have her tell stories of growing up here.

I won't list them, but if you want to know all of us who were there just ask! It was a rowdy group! Can't wait to do it again!

Our guide through the fort was this Native American who knew Jan's grandfather. Once he found out who the group was, he stopped talking about the fort and started asking us questions about what it was REALLY like. It was funny to hear how his version of the story was different from what Jan and her brothers had experienced.
