Our Camping Trip

We planned a trip down to Bryce Canyon this year with some of my family. And like any trip it can't be perfect. Something has to go wrong, right? Well off we went on our 3-3.5 hour drive to the canyon. Only really it took us at least 5 hrs. This is why. We were more than half way there and Matt noticed something fly out of Mike's truck. So we pull over and this is what we found!



Good thing we had the guys with us. I have never changed a flat tire in my life. Maybe I should once so I at least know what to do.
So we finally made it to camp. It was such a pretty place. I have lots of pictures so I will show only a few.

We went on some long(really long) 4-wheeler rides. I love to just sit back and enjoy nature. Of course it was a little hot, so I did get a little sunburned. But who couldn't use a little more sun? And, we seemed to always end up being the last ones in line. So as you could imagine we were covered in dirt from the 5 4-wheelers in front of us. You'll see a picture of my feet. That's not just a tan line it's a dirt line.

While we were on one of our really long rides to our surprise Mike had led us to a lake. Let me just say, it was so refreshing. Mike actually got all the way in, fully clothed. After seeing him do that, I was really tempted. The water was so clear you could see little baby fishes swimming all around your feet.

Ok, one more thing. Since we were in Bryce Canyon we had to go to the park. Let me just say, WOW! It was amazing! Here are some more pictures.

Looks like a way fun family trip. Ammon is getting to big. I would have never thought of strapping the car seat to the 4-Wheeler, how did that work out?

ya, the ride is a lot easier not having to hold on to your kid. we just used tie-downs and strapped it on as tight as it would go. it's awesome!
