Capitol Reef

I grew up camping. That is what my family did for fun. I hadn't really been since we've been married due to school and a baby and such. So, during the week of Memorial day, we went to Capitol Reef. It is a place that I hold near and dear. It's absolutely beautiful, and now that I am all grown up, I actually appreciate it! My parents and sisters were able to go with us too, which made it even better. I don't think I could have enjoyed the place as much without those that made all the Capitol Reef memories.

Seth and my dad had "man camp." They both had a tent to sleep in while my mom, sisters', and me and Logan slept in the trailer. I was soooooooooo very nervous about Logan and sleeping. Two weeks prior to the trip I took him on a "dry run" to both my mom's and Seth's mom's overnight. It was HORRIBLE. I left the Farnsworth's at 3 am. due to Logan NOT sleeping and screaming. The same thing happened at the Johnson's but I didn't go home I just didn't sleep. Needless to say I was worried that the trip would be a disaster. I prayed and prayed that it would work out and that we would have a memorable experience.

Logan slept. All night. MIRACULOUS! He loves being outdoors and he was in paradise. He was a perfect angel for the entire trip. The drive down was excellent, we didn't listen to Backyardigans until the 4th hour in the car! It was such a dream. I know it was a blessing, and a great one. The trip is one that we will always remember, in a GOOD way!

We also did a lot of hiking. Seth loved the Cohab Canyon trail. We also did the walk to the pioneer registry--that's what the pictures of the canyon walls are showing. My favorite hike has always been the Sulfur Creek hike. You just follow the river through a canyon. There are three waterfalls, and you have to climb up them. It was wonderful. We bought a Kelty Kid pack and Logan loved it! He still does, I use it daily. Ahhhh, I love summer trips!
