After a LONG drive, we were so excited to see Utah. Yes, I did the silly tourist thing and made my children stand in front of the "Welcome to Utah" sign. Yes, Erin Joy is in her pajamas. Sometimes it is easier to travel this way:) Rachel is plugging her ears because the freeway noise bothered her.
This is my Great-Grandpa's house. My parents lived here while they attended school. This was their first house and the house I lived in as a baby.
We played with our cousins in Northern Utah before making the journey to Southern Utah.
Our first hike in Bryce Canyon was to a beautiful waterfall and neat cave. Imagine a waterfall spilling over a cave filled with huge blue ice pillars. The battery in my camera died before we got to the waterfall and cave. My father has pictures and I will get them from him later.
Bryce Canyon is incredibly beautiful. My pictures don't even begin to show the beauty of the area.
Our easy hike turned out to be longer and more treacherous than we thought.
This was a very scary spot on the trail. It was worse than it looks. Trying to get around the rock formation without slipping down the side of a cliff was terrifying. We all made it.
This is a Bristlecone pine tree... small but beautiful. This tree can live to be over 5,000 years old. The trees in Bryce are young...only about 1,500 years old.
We enjoyed a beautiful sunset and moon rise, but my cheap little camera can't even begin to capture the beauty we saw. Amazingly beautiful.
