Labor Day at Bryce Canyon

We decided at the last minute to go to Bryce Canyon. It was a little too cold for boating. It's just under two hours from our house. It was the first time me and the kids had been there. It was breathtakingly beautiful!! The kids loved it!
Ashley crashed and hit her head on a rock,
but she was ok. We warned the kids to wear good shoes,
but sandals was the shoe of choice!?!

Wow! What A View!


Trails wind all the way down through the rock formations.
This is a tunnel along on of the trails.





Trees grow with their roots out of the ground?


See ya all next time at one of Utah's Natural Wonders.
I know this is a little late but here's the kids on their FIRST DAY of SCHOOL!


Madison - Our 4th Grader!
Ashley - our 1st Grader!
Parker - Our Kindergartner!
Parker and Ashley walking into their school, Ashman Elementary. It has Kindergarten through 2nd grade. Madison's is Pahvant Elementary and has 3rd through 5th. I love it!

Parker's 1st day! He goes to all-day kindergarten. He has two teachers who are really awesome. He loves riding the bus and getting to take this lunch to school. I can't believe I'm down to one kid during the day. It has been great!

Bryce Canyon is our favorite National Park! I haven't been there for 8 years! I am jealous your kids ride a school bus:)

Bryce Canyon is so beautiful! I'm glad you got to go there. I loved all the school kids pictures too. They are so darling!

Those were awesome pics of Bryce Canyon. I haven't been there since I was a teenager. I love camping and hiking especially at places like that.
All day kindergarten? That is what Parks needs. He can't wait until it's time for school and it lasts as long as preschool did!
The smaller schools seems so nice. Your kids are all so cute.
