Goblin Valley Camping Trip

This last weekend we went camping as a family down to Goblin Valley with Mick's brother Dave and his wife Ginger and their kids and our friends Brett and Andrea Ostler and their family. It was the best weather and probably the best trip I have ever had down there. It was sunny and warm during the day and only needed a sweatshirt at night. Sat we hiked the Little Wildhorse Canyon. Ty, Bet and Wyatt went on the 9 mile loop around to Bell Canyon with me. They did AWESOME! Bet wanted to go and I told her she could only come along if there was absolutely NO complaining... and she didn't.

Sunday we went over to the actual Valley of the Goblins. Mick and I and the kids divided into teams and played steal the flag. It was a blast.

For some unknown reason, Ty and Spencer decided to wrap their shirts around their heads. ??? They could be brothers - they have very similar personalities and I even got Spencer confused with Ty a couple of times.

Lucky Bet, she got to go camping with one of her really good friends. They had a "sleepover" in our trailer both nights.

Emma was Wyatt's little buddy and liked to hang out with him.

Too freaking cute to leave off this post.

Wyatt took this pic of our family. Way to go man! I just told him where to stand and zoomed it in and he did the rest.

So Brett told me he didn't think I could get up here. Well of course I had to prove him wrong. Andrea told me that they hadn't brought their I.V. equipment with them and there wasn't enough room to land a chopper. Brett took this shot once I got up there. I had an escape plan if it broke off.... JUMP!

This rock formation looked like Gary the snail off of SpongeBob. The kids had to ride on top of him!
