Bryce Canyon


Mommy and the kids went on a road trip to Utah again this year. We went to Bryce Canyon this time and did quite a hike down the Navajo Loop Trail. We went down a steep 1/4 mile trail down to where there was a rock slide last year and could not go any further. I had Olivia on my back in a backpack, so that added an additional 35 pounds. Luckily for me when we got to the bottom, she wanted out and she actually ran back up the trail. I had to keep yelling at her to stop and wait for me and to get away from the edge. She thought it was quite amusing to stand about three switch-backs above me and look at me from the very edge. That girl is going to give me a heart attack. Emily on the other hand stayed with me on the way back up and kept checking on me every 10 feet. "Are you okay mom? Want some water mom? Do you need to rest?" She's very sweet, but I wasn't that pathetic. I held my own quite nicely thank you.
