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.
