Bryce Canyon Camping

Bryce Canyon is so beautiful! WOW! We had so much fun. We went camping with Brady's parents for 3 nights at the sunset campground inside the park.These are hoodoos... never figured out why they were called that.



We found a nice short hike to do with the boys called Mossy Cave and found a cool waterfall that Brady and I hiked out to and got to climb around... The boys got to stick their feet in the water and that was so nice because it was pretty hot!

Owen was a pretty good sport to be packed around all day....

You can see the clouds in the picture below... we got rained on during our Saturday outing which actually felt so good! Poor Oma got the wettest... we stopped at one of the many scenic over looks as it started to sprinkle. As we looked out at the sight Oma decided to check out a little over look call Pirates Peak (I think). It was a little bit of a walk away and I was holding Owen and Brady was taking the boys to the bathroom so she just thought she would run over there by herself... It just so happened that about 1 minute after she left it started to down pour... Papa, Owen and I found a tree that did a pretty good job blocking the rain as we waited for the now drenched Oma to come back!
The boys just acting silly...

This is the natural bridge...

Our campground was not too bad and pretty shady... The boys loved it! They played nonstop and were so good which always make camping more fun. They loved having Oma and Papa come with us because they got spoiled! (I did too be cause they were such a great help with the boys and the food!)

Brady vs. The Petrified Wood!

We packed in our own wood from our back yard.... this particular log mush have been out there since 1830 because Papa and Brady worked on chopping this one log for hours!!!
Brady did finally come off conqueror! Yeah!
He was so proud he made me take a picture.

Grandma and Grandpa Hulse

We got to visit my family in Arizona and had tons of fun! It was 114 degrees so we swam alot, as you can tell in the pictures, they are the only pictures we took! (on my camera anyway, mom you need to send me the ones you and Cortney took!)Owen actually warmed up to everyone! He loved that Grandpa would take him wherever he wanted to go... Uncle Tyler did too but I don't have a picture of them :(

Wyatt and Brady swimming in Grandpa's pool!

Carson, me, Owen beating the heat!

Carson and Wyatt mostly wore their life jackets and doggy paddled around the pool... Carson really enjoyed jumping in and going under the water this year... We really need to do swim lessons!
Carson, me, Owen, Cortney, Grandpa, and Wyatt on one of our many dips in the pool!

Grandma got in the pool too but I don't have any pictures of that (hmmm... I wonder why!)

We had so much fun playing with aunt Cortney (they are still talking about you!) And they take skateboard and waterfall everywhere! They loved watching Uncle Tyler play computer games... they pretend to play "Zombies vs. Plants" almost every day!

Brady and I got to go to the new vampire movie with Cortney and it was actually really good... like 1000 time better than the others. We also went with everyone to Toy Story 3, which I thought was cute but Wyatt was scared of that crazy looking monkey!
Of course we went garage selling which is often my favorite part and we found some fun stuff! I love garage sales in AZ they always have good stuff it not just junk like so often I find when I go here... My mom and I went shopping with Cortney and I found a cute pair of capris which I so badly needed! We also made headbands out of t-shirts that are dang cute, I might just have to post a picture of them some time, they are really cute!
Brady had a good time relaxing after getting done teaching for the summer... He read 3 books.
We had so much fun! Can't wait to go back for Christmas this year!

Grandma and Grandpa Edwards

A few Sundays ago we got to drive down and visit Brady's Grandparents. It was really nice to sit and visit. They are such great people... but it's always hard to see them get older. Here are a few picture of our barbecue.

Owen fell asleep right in her arms... it's actually kind of amazing since it takes so much work for me to get him to sleep when he is not in his crib!
