Belated Spring Break



I am finally around to posting our Spring Break trip. My computer has had a virus and I have been trying to get pictures from one computer to another. I know a month overdue but better late than never.

We headed out on Wednesday. We stopped for lunch in Salina and arrived in Torrey later on that day. We set up camp and mostly hung out because it was cold and wanted to get started early the next day. The kids played on the playground. There was a see saw and Zach would call it a "tater tot". We aren't sure why but he was adament about the name of it.

It was still a little cold but we decided to head to Escalante to see the Anasazi ruins and the Petrified forest. The kids liked the ruins and my kids loved the hike despite the snow and cold.

On Friday we headed to Capitol Reef. We went a few hikes, one of which was a place called the tanks where there were holes in the ground from water. I must say my kids were quite the little hikers. I am not much of a hiker and couldn't keep up as well as I would like with my kids.

Saturday was the most beautiful day of all (the day we would be heading back of course!!). We went to the Gifford farmhouse. They had the yummiest homemade bread and jam! We hiked the Grand Wash and Gooseneck overlook, which looks little a little Grand Canyon. Awesome!! There were so many pictures and some on my friend, Danylle's camera that I didn't get yet but we had a fabulous time with great friends and fun despite the bad weather.
