Bryce Canyon National Park.

Hoo Doos. Lots of Cloud cover (Nice). Chipmunks. Two Bridges. Queen Victoria's Garden. Breathtaking. 4.5 miles. Little troopers. Pictures. Thor's hammer. Riding on daddy's shoulders. Resting on logs. Orange, dusty bums and hands.

Alie helped to drag, push, and carry Justin through the canyon.

4th of July Celebrations

Days 5-6 - Back to Lorie and Wyatt's house for BBQ, fireworks, and smores. We love visiting Summer, Brady, and their three kitties. Aunt Lorie always makes things so fun and SWEET. She made sure that we had our fill of shaved ice, smoothies, cotton candy, kool-aid, and smores. We wish we lived closer! The kids love spending time with their cousins.

I love the sound of Brady's laugh. Ryan loves to make these two laugh.

Happy 4th!

Day 4 - 5 at Cherry Hill Campground in Kaysville.

Cousins, Grandparents, Family, Lazy River, Glow Sticks, New Cousins, Water, Fireworks, BBQ, Ice Cream, Mini Golfing, and more water.

Grandma Urvina had an amazing frog collection. Every grandchild took a frog home to remember her. It was fun to see all the frogs tucked under arms and in hands.

Sweet.

Vacation

For the last 10 days we have been Cruising America in this beast. We have affectionately named it "The Hoo Doo, Doo Doo". Hoo Doo, after the rock formations in Bryce Canyon, and Doo Doo, after the septic tank memories. Alan holds most of those memories on his own.

Our trip in a nutshell - We started by heading straight up to Salt Lake to visit The Becks, then to a Family Reunion camping at Cherry Hill, back to the Becks to celebrate the 4th, then to Bryce Canyon National Park, and ended our trip at Zion's National Park.

Days 1 - 3.

Day 1 - Traveling. We met up with cousins in St. George.

Let the games begin!

Day 2 - We went to Salt Lake as a family and visited Temple Square. We also went to The Lion House, The Beehive House, and the Church History Museum.

We ate lunch at the Lion House Pantry.

The artichoke chicken, a favorite. The flowers, beautiful. The weather, warm.

Day 3 - We went to BYU. The weather again was pretty warm. We walked around a bit, but mostly stayed inside visiting the bookstore, the cougareat, and creamery. Al took a walk down memory lane and the kids were happy to walk along with him.

A little too matchy, I know. But hey, we got spirit!
