Watkins Family Trip - Bryce Canyon

In July we got to spend a few days with the Watkins family in Bryce Canyon. It's always a great time in the outdoors with the kids and family. The kids love the freedom of camping. They play in the fire, hang out in the hammocks, wander through the meadow and just entertain themselves with the sticks and the dirt. We did some hiking, swimming at the pool, playing in the creek and as usual ate some yummy camping food. There are quite a few fun pictures from this trip so check out the slide show.



After we left Bryce Canyon, our family headed out to the Escalante area to spend a couple days. Melissa and Jason joined us for this part of the adventure. We spent one day hiking Spooky Gulch and Peek A Boo slot canyons. They were awesome and the kids loved it. It's amazing how they can just cruise up and down the skinny spots of the canyon and the adults have a bit more of a struggle. After the hike we spent some time playing in calf creek up the road. We really had to pull the kids away to go get some food since they had pretty much just had granola bars all day. The next day we headed over to Capital Reef for some more exploring. What a beautiful National Park. We enjoyed seeing and doing some different things down there. From there it was back home again with some great memories from the week.

Once we got home from this weeks adventure we did a quick unpack and repack for Brookelyn who was able to head down to Lake Powell with her best friend a half hour later. What a lucky girl!
