2009 Family Summer Vacation

For the end of June and beginning of July we took our family vacation to Souther/Central Utah for camping and hiking.. not my idea, but Jon and the kids love it. I will admit that we had fun! We started out in Capitol Reef Nat'l Park near the Fruita area, the rock formations and views were beautiful. The kids got to explore and become Jr. Rangers, then we hiked to the Hickman Natural Bridge which was worth the effort. The kids did great on the mile in and mile out hike, and it was hot. We even had to scare off a racoon that ate some of our cashews from our campsite one night. Then we finished out trip at Gobblin Valley.. the rock forms their look like gobblins or mushrooms and the kids got to play and climb all over them.
