Bryce Canyon

This past weekend Bryson had Thursday and Friday off so we decided to take a family vacation down to southern Utah and my parents joined us. We drove down Wednesday after school. On Thursday Bryson, my dad, Eric, and I went 4-wheeling in just outside of Panguitch in a place called Casto Canyon. It was beautiful.



Bryson has so much fun being in the out of doors. He loves 4-wheeling and he loves to hike around and explore. Give him dirt, rocks, and sand and he is a happy dirty boy.
We didn't take Carley on the long 4-wheeler trips, but she still wanted to go, so we took her on a short trip behind Ruby's in near Bryce Canyon. She has so much fun

Friday we went into Bryce Canyon and hiked. We hiked from Sunset point to Sunrise point, 2.5 miles. Bryson hiked the whole thing and I was proud of him. He got tired and cranky when we were hiking uphill the last little bit, but in the end he raced Eric to the end and he won. Carley hiked a lot too, but we also brought the back pack so we could carry her. We took a nap after the hike and then drove around to the other stops in Bryce Canyon and took some pictures. The Canyon is amazing and has many breath taking views




(This was Bryson's favoritie rock formation from the trip. He thinks it looks like a monster)
Saturday we drove from Bryce Canyon to Capital Reef. In the afternoon we went 4-wheeling again. Both Bryson and I wanted to ride on the 4-wheeler with Eric, but after awhile of Eric messing around I decided that Bryson would have more fun so I went on the other 4-wheeler with my Dad. Bryson loved going through the water, going fast, and going off jumps.


We only had one slight incident the whole weekend. While we were hiking Bryson was goofing around playing in the dirt and happened to get a cactus through his jeans and pricked his legs. He screamed until it was taken out and then was happy to hold it and show it off. I am just glad he didn't land hands first into a pile of cactus, because he came close.

For dinner we ate at a place called Cafe Diablo. It was so good!!! Especially for being in the middle of no where.
Sunday morning we drove into Capital reef and drove around and hiked a little and then we came home.


Utah has such amazing places to visit that it is fun to get out and see them
