One of our family’s goals this year was to visit the beautiful places that are so close to us. This trip we camped in Kodachrome Basin and also visited breath taking Bryce Canyon. I apologize in advance for all the pictures but this was only a few of the ones I took and I had such a hard time picking which ones to include in this post; the scenery was so awe inspiring the photos do not begin to do it justice! If you have ever been to Bryce Canyon, you know what I am talking about; and if you have not had that opportunity as of yet , I hope these pictures motivate you to visit this magnificent place! I wish we had more time to explore all their was to see. This will be a trip we will repeat again.
Julie’s brother, Jimmy and his family came with us and we all had a really good time. On one of the hikes in Kodachrome Basin there was a weird plant that Natalie nick named “Old Man Plant”, because she said it reminded her of an old man. I have no idea how her mind works but she decided that she wanted to do the “Old Man’s” hair. . .see if you can guess what picture that is. She also wanted so badly to catch a lizard on our last trip to Capital Reef but it was just to cold for them to be out during our trip, however this trip we saw plenty of lizards and even caught a few for a short amount of time before they would escape. Natalie would carry an empty water bottle everywhere we would hike and I couldn’t figure out why until she was putting sand in it and I asked what she was doing and explained that she was putting “desert” into the bottle so the lizard would be comfortable when she caught it, it wasn’t “sand”, it was “desert”. She is such a fun little girl, and we love her very much. Nathan and Brennan had the time of their lives hiking and exploring all over the place. I wish I still had that much energy.

Julie and I kept comenting to each other how Bryce Canyon was a combination of Alpine Mountain and Red rock Desert. It is as if they colided with each other in this canyon. Simply Beuatiful
This Chipmunk was so funny. . . You can totally see him savor the taste of this nut. It was almost like he was posing for the photo.
This is Natalie and the "Old Man" bush. I believe she is trying to braid his hair??
Brennan just taking an afternoon nap
Nathan and his Cousins worked really hard on becoming Jr. Rangers and this is where they were "Sworn" in. Congrats!
