Camping Bliss

Warning Picture Overload! 
 This summer we purchased a tent trailer, and have been doing a lot of camping. Highly recommend for families that love to camp. It makes it so much easier to camp with children and me! A couple of weeks ago we took the trailer to Green River Utah with our neighbors for some hiking, swimming, sketching, laughing and lots of great food! We stayed at a plush state park with flush toilets and showers. So maybe not really camping! Who knew Green River was so fun. We spent time in Goblin Valley with the amazing slot canyons, hiked to some Indian petroglyphs and spent every evening at the beach in Green River. I am in love with the desert, it is so beautiful and fun to explore. It is a perfect playground for boys to let loose all their curiosity and energy. Aydan is such a great hiker. He is so much like his dad, always going of trail, climbing rocks, exploring everywhere he can get to and finding treasures. And of course Sam is trying to hike right along with Aydan. Sam admires Aydan so much and wants to be just like him. Then there is Wyatt, in his own world, just taking his time, he is teaching us to slow down. It was a amazing trip and we can't wait to begin our next adventure.

Handsome Boys

My cute and talented friend Katrina was able to come and take Wyatt's two year old pictures. And of course we were able to take pictures of Sam and Aydan too. It was quite the adventure to first get Wyatt to smile and second to get all three boys to smile! But she got some really wonderful pictures. Thank you Katrina!! And seriously these pictures are so great they capture their personality so well. I just love my handsome boys!
Look at those eyes!




Poor Baby! Just didn't want to sit on Aydan's lap.

Oh Sam!


My cute Aydan.




I was bribing the boys with gummy bears!

And as a bonus pictures of our chickens!

Capitol Reef

Over Spring break we were able to make a quick, spontaneous trip to Capitol Reef National Park. I didn't realize how great this place is! Beautiful canyons, great weather and we got lots of hiking in. Maybe too much, Wyatt refused to get in the backpack so he pretty much walked the 2 1/2 mile hike at a snails pace! Peter found these really cute cabins for us to stay in. One room, two beds, electricity and a heater for $35! Loved everything about this little vacation. Aydan is already talking about going back over summer break.
The Cabin, how cute!
Sulfur Creek, such a fun hike.
Rocks, sticks and water= endless entertainment
