Bryce Canyon

We went to Bryce Canyon National Park with everyone while we where in Beaver here are a few of the millions of pictures we took.  We did Yellowstone last weekend and Bryce's this weekend.  Tons of fun!  It was beautiful.  The Colors are amazing in Bryce's it is my favorite National Park. It was neat to get to take the kids for their first time. The weather was so perfect not too hot like it can get in Bryce's and not too cold.  We took jackets and Lyndie wore a coat for some of the time.  All the kids hiked even Lyndie did some hiking they all did really well.  We hiked about 3 1/2 miles on the Navajo trail.

This is a building across the street from Ruby's Inn going into Bryce Canyon

We rode the tram to sunrise point we are all waiting to go back to the visitors center.

More beautiful scenery

Behind Tyler and I is a giant pine tree growing on Bryce's Wall street.  It is amazing to see a tree growing between the huge walls that seem to scrape the sky much like the skyscraper building I imagine are on wall street.
Behind me is a huge drop off that goes down several hundred feet I was trying to do a pose for a trick photography picture for Jason and hold Lyndie at the same time.  I was afraid I was going to drop Lyndie and my stomach was doing somersaults.  Jason couldn't understand why I was being a chicken until he climb up to where I was and saw how far down the drop off was. The three rocks behind me are much farther away than they appear.  
I thought this tree was really cool the  way it was growing.  Almost like it was trying to stand on its tip toes if it had toes.
Kassidy got to ride in the backpack most of the time but didn't really like the idea of it at first.

These rock walls are really amazing they are so tall. This is the famous Wall street of Bryce Canyon.

Grandpa and Grandma with the kids.

This was the cute little backpack Whit took.  I think she borrowed  it from Kassidy.  Isn't it cute.

The Look off at Sunrise Point.

The kids found a cool cave to rest in for a minute.

Time for a rest.

Kent and Lyndie

No tree hugging allowed.

Lyndie really wanted to get inside the glass case and hold the bunny at the visitors center.  She is crazy about animals.

Petrified wood  Anyone?  Only $1,795.00 for the one above.

The long rectangular piece above Cole's Head is only $18,200.00 they were beautiful.

This one is also $18,200.00 It is museum quality Douglas Fir.

I think Jason would have bought them if he had the $.

Oh Baby!  Lookin' good.  These characters were across from Ruby's Inn.

Beaver 

Sorry about the massive amount of pictures.  We were in Beaver this last weekend to visit Mom and Dad and see Kevin and Kent and their families before they take off to Dental and Pharmaceutical school.  Kent and Melanie are off to Boston Massachusetts at the end of August. Kevin and Robyn are going to San Francisco.  It was so fun to see everyone.  We also got to see Kurt and Whitney.  We  went on a picnic on Saturday up to Kent's Lake in the Beaver Mountains.  Melanie Kent's wife who is 6 months pregnant was having some sharp pains in her side. It all started happening the night before they came and the pain just kept getting worse.  Kent, Kevin and Dad gave her a blessing and Kent took her to the Beaver hospital.  All is well thank goodness!  Mel had a Kidney infection and is doing much better now.  We all played around fished, canoed on the lake, and rode horses.

Jared was Grandpa's little sidekick.  Grandpa found this hat for Jared to wear and he wore it all weekend.  Jared loved the horses and spent most of his time riding.

Kurt had a rubber band war with Tyler, Corey and Cole.  

There were plenty of wrestling matches.

Lyndie also loved the black hat.  She makes a cute Cowgirl mother.

Tyler and Corey relaxing

The Piano was great entertainment.  Abbie love the piano and someday I hope to get a Piano or a keyboard so she can take lessons.

Grandpa and Kassidy hanging out.  Kassidy was so much fun and provided a lot of entertainment for everyone. ( Kassidy is Kevin and Robyn's cute little girl)

Kurt is Kassidy's other Dad. He and Whit are always at Kevin house and Kassidy loves them.  It is so cute to see her with Uncle Kurt.  I don't know what they will do when Kevin and Robyn move.

Abbie and Kassidy watching a movie in Grandpa's horse trailer after the picnic.

Hangin' with the girls

Kassidy

We wore Grandpa out and Lyndie made for a good napping buddy.

While everyone was resting we decided to give the horses a rest as well.  Jared and Cole were'nt up for that idea they hopped onto the horses and sat there for about a half hour.  Cole would ask every once in a while "have the had enough resting."  They were hard core for the horse back riding.

Jason, Tyler, Corey and Kevin did some target shooting.

Lyndie ran around everywhere and crashed going down the steps of Grandpa's horse trailer.  She did a face plant into the ground and had a nasty scab from the wound.  She didn't bleed much though.

Kevin known as "Guy smiley" doing what he does best.  We love you Kev.

Grandma relaxing with the fam.

Cole found another one of Grandpa's hat  and wore it around too.

Too Cool!

Jared looking not so happy but I loved the picture.

Relaxing at Grandma's house

Grandma put up with all of us.  Thanks for all you do for us Mom.  We love you Thanks for the fun weekend.

Kevin shooting the breeze.

Lyndie loved the horses too and would get so mad when it was someone else's turn to ride.

Lyndie and Dad.
