We really enjoyed our trip to Bryce Canyon.
Our favorite part of the trip was hiking.
Tyler and Kolby took this trail on.
They conquered it.
There were so many neat things to see.
The kids were great hikers!
The weather was perfect.
It felt great to be outside in the beautiful weather.
We also went to see the Escalante Grand Staircase Monument.
We took a long, terrible dirt road to see an arch.
Everyone we passed was silently mocking us for taking the mini van on this.
This is what we found.
Worth it? Still not sure. It is very cool. However, that was a really long, terrible dirt road.
Addie wanted her picture taken with every dead animal in the museum at the visitors center. It was the least I could do since I won't let her have a pet. The girl LOVES animals.
Landry has a timid heart.
Remember this from a year ago? Kolby's school project on the Long Tailed Weasel.
Look what we found.
Bryce Canyon is amazing.
It is beautiful.
There is so much to see.
We enjoyed every minute.
We walked right past these guys. Thanks to the deer hunt we were able to take this little vacation. School was out for Fall Recess. Where we live Fall Recess is code for the beginning of the deer hunt.
My little hikers.
They were troopers.
It was nice to spend so much time with this guy.
Arches are always impressive.
It's amazing someone so little can have so much stamina.
The light was reflecting so nicely off the rocks during our evening hike.
Landry was in a choice mood.
We can't wait to do it again!
Last Wednesday we were getting ready to head home after vacationing in California.
We had one last thing to do before we left.
Tyler could not leave without hitting the waves. Kolby jumped right in.
We met up with the Madsens who conveniently live about two minutes from the beach.
Campbell and Addie splashed around.
Landry loved the sand.
Addie enjoyed her boogie board ride compliments of Campbell.
We were there at high tide and had some great waves.
Landry discovered seashells.
High tide made the sand perfect for sand castles.
Tyler enjoyed boogie boarding.
Ammon and Tyler heading out to catch some waves.
We tried to soak in a lot of sun to get us through until next summer.
Quite the contrast to this week where we have had to pull out the sweaters.
Yesterday started out as a nice fall day but it did not last.
Landry came home from school excited to see the snow falling.
He could not wait to play in it.
This morning he was very anxious to put on his snow boots and coat. Landry told me it looks like Christmas outside.
This is what today brought. Quite the contrast from last Wednesday.
