Brianhead is only 1 hr from Bryce Canyon so that's where we headed today. We had been there a couple years ago, but I love it. Our first adventure was hiking down into the heart of the canyon, a 1.3 mile loop. Sounds harmless enough but it was hard work. Cord wanted to walk the whole way, but he also wanted to stop and pick up every single rock he could find. The sights were breathtaking though and we found plenty of spots to take pictures. Toward the end (on the way back up) I finally had to force Cord to ride on my dad's back if we were ever going to get out of there. What a little trooper! Of course he fell asleep as soon as we got back to the car. We found a nice spot for a picnic. But as soon as we got everything out, the heavens opened and poured rain hard for about 5 minutes. We ended up eating our soggy sandwhiches in the car while we were grateful that we still weren't in the canyon. We took some time to explore the sites at the various lookouts. Chelsea took the awesome pic of the rainbow. Before we left Bryce we took some time for a little shopping. The kids had b-day money from grandma great that they wanted to spend. Cord bought the stick "e-he" which was really cute at the time but has since turned into a powerful weapon for him. UGGH!
We have loved being with our cousins. They live in Idaho so we don't get to see them as much as I'd like. We have had adventures in Yellowstone, Bear Lake, and now in Brianhead. I wonder where we'll be next year???
