My iPhone can’t capture how pretty the contrast My iPhone can’t capture how pretty the contrast of the blue sky against the red rock really is! Red Canyon is insanely pretty and so much fun for kids! We played hide and seek amongst the rocks for a while.
I don’t think I can ever enjoy a regular hike ag I don’t think I can ever enjoy a regular hike again. If you are going to Bryce Canyon, e-biking through is the way to go! The parking was full and people were shuttling in, but you miss most of the chaos on that glorious out of the way bike path. #brycecanyon #brycecanyonnationalpark #utah #discoverutah
Year four of this little guy on my back and you kn Year four of this little guy on my back and you know what? I prefer it! Even today, he opted to walk on his own for most of the day and it made me a little sad. It’s the one time when I’m not chasing him or exasperated by his behavior. When Logan is on my back we’re back in sync and it feels so right. So I’m going to cherish this year of adventuring with my little back buddy, because I have a feeling there won’t be a year five. Also, I chose the pic where he looks best and I don’t- that’s love!

We hit the Bear Canyon Suspension Bridge which was awesome, except Ty got scared and ran off rather than enjoy the view below. Can’t wait to drag the family out as often as possible!
