Today is Bryce Canyon National Park. Oh the views. Oh the Hoodoos!

We hit up the visitors center to talk to a ranger. Best thing to do at each park. They know their park and can help you find the best things to do and hike for your crew. They also have the best tips on how to accomplish it all in good time.

First thing we did was park and hit a bus to Bryce Point. The view was amazing. Then our hiking began!

Bye bye, Zion!

We drove back through Zion to exit the east side.

The Court of the Patriarchs the mountain named after the Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The second picture looks a little like a knob we all know and love.

The third is a picture of two exhausted children.

We dried off by walking back out of The Narrows, hopping on a bus, and going hiking The Weeping Rock Trail.

This trail was short and led to a big rock where water was coming over the side. Another fun one for the girls.

So this hike is water only. Rocky bottom with fast moving water made for some scary moments with a camera. Sandy spots were much easier. After having enough scares I put the big camera away and just survived (and enjoyed) the hike.

Sidney Kate totally fell in. There were random spots where you'd see someone fall deep because it was a deep spot (like waist or chest of an adult) She had wanted to do that and fall in-instead she just pulled a Kevin and fell the clumsy way. 🤣

The girls were excited for this hike. Getting wet, dirty, and with permission.

They said the water looked like chocolate milk. Sure did. Couldn't see a thing!

We got wise and got back in the bus and rode to the top of Zion. The Temple of Sinawava. We were excited about this because this lead to The Narrows. It's a 14 mile hike through the river. We didn't hike that distance but we enjoyed several turns through the river. I put up my cell and carried my big camera for pictures. I did snap a few shots.

Zion is definitely a placed packed with people. We haven't experienced this many people at the other parks.

We had water shoes packed in our bags. So after changing out of hiking shoes we went for it. I would recommend shoes with toes and not Chaco sandals or bare foot. So many hidden rocks to stump your toes on.

We are in Zion National Park!

Sidney Kate has been dying to see a real cactus. We saw tiny patches of little ones so far but she wanted a big one. I wouldn't let her touch them.

We found this one after we parked. She touched it. She has something stuck in her finger. She touched it after Daddy did. When will they start listening to me?!

We found Moqui Caves! Since we have showered and are headed to dinner-we didn't get out to hike up and inspect them. But when reading about things to do in Kanab, I found a mom who posted about finding them.

Enjoy her blog. http://www.saltproject.co/blog/moqui-caves-kanab-ut

Maybe next time we come this way. 😊

Exploring Kanab for a good dinner spot.

The red rocks are surely wallpaper to those that live here-much like trees to us. But as a visitor it's just wow to drive through.

We finished our big plans for the day before 9:00. So we started looking around Page for something different to do.

Glen Canyon Recreational Park is here and accepts this fabulous 4th grade pass!

So we spent a few hours on a beach. In Arizona.

The girls were "dying" to send some shots of them hanging from cliffs to the grandparents.

We captured their life saving events.
