Bryce Canyon

Phew. Here is another pile of pictures from our latest adventure. Richard had to go down to St. George for work and we decided we would join him and take a detour on the way home. We love our adventures in St. George (we got to go a lot with Richard last year) and while Richard was working, we went to see the Temple. The girls love the visitors center as well as looking at the beautiful white temple.

We spent a lot of time on the grounds, enjoying the beautiful flowers and grounds. Kaitlyn was having so much fun, she just wanted to dance. She wouldn't even stop for a picture.

Then of course we had to go on the stairs.

They climbed all the way to the top and loved getting to touch the doors to the temple. Happy, happy girls.

After a night in St. George we headed to Bryce Canyon! Yeah! We were so excited to get out hiking and see this beautiful place again.

The girls were up for adventure. (check out that pose.)

We really like coming here because there are so many nice, short hikes, and tons of overlooks that allow you to see this beautiful place, even if you have little ones with short legs tagging along! The girls liked the "windows" at the overlooks that they could peek through.

Here we are on the Bristlecone loop, enjoying the crazy trees and beautiful rocks!

We stopped by the Visitors Center where the girls once again loved, loved the museum and made us go through it multiple times. Kaitlyn rode the horse...

...while Anna was mostly interested in the animals (can you hear her? "Ohh, Ohh!")

The girls favorite overlook was natural bridge. It is this huge, beautiful arch...

...which also happens to have this rock formation next to it. Can you see it? They called it the Princess Rock, and Kaitlyn insisted on taking this picture herself to remember.

Happy Anna!

Happy Kaitlyn! (check out our trip to Bryce last year-the picture of Kaitlyn is so much like this one! She is just so much bigger!)

Our last hike was to a waterfall, and was definately the girls favorite hike. They loved throwing rocks in the water!

And the waterfall was really amazing too. So much water, and such beautiful country!

The poor girls were getting so tired of walking (or rather Kaitlyn was, Anna was enjoying the ride), that we had to fly back from the waterfall to the cars. It worked too.

We can't wait to go again!
