Bryce Canyon

Since the children had presidents day off, we figured we would go on a day trip down to Bryce Canyon, and since it was on our way and it was p-day we asked the missionaries to join us.

Then we headed to the visitor center museum and movie.

Then we headed to the park.  We headed to Inspiration Point and hiked to Sunset Point and back.  It was muddy and miserable, but apparently the kids really loved it.

We found some holes in the rocks and took some pictures.

Then we headed to various other points in the park.

But my favorite part was the Natural Bridge.  Matt found a Raven that he was coaxing to come closer, and Elder Workman found some aviators on the trail.  It was super peaceful.

On the way out of Bryce we stopped at one of the tunnels and had some fun.

Then we stopped at an All-American Road.

To keep with tradition, we had Elder Davis do a food challenge.  12 donuts in 10 minutes.  They were so thick he was only able to get through sick, but the kids were more than happy to help him finish them.

It was a fun little day, but I was super tired and ready for home after we dropped the Elders off.

It was one of the most scenic vacations we've ever taken. It makes me want to go back when the weather is warm and hike down in to the bottom. Will be sweet
