Bryce Canyon

Sunday after church, we hit the road south to go to Bryce Canyon National Park.

We stayed at Ruby's Inn, which is pretty famous. Their pool is awesome and their breakfast is incredible -- except they limit the number of guests who can eat at once, but we made do.

Many things JB read online said to go to Bryce in March, because there are fewer crowds and the weather is nice. Unfortunately, this winter snowed a lot down there, and they closed all of the below-the-rim trails. But we still got to see incredible views from the rim.


 
JB took the boys from Sunset Point to Sunrise Point, while I drove Millie to meet them.


 
Millie carried a bar of soap from the hotel with her all day. She often has some sort of treasure to carry around, and for some reason, just really liked this citrus scent, I guess.


 
 
He also took Max and Ben down the trail a little on Inspiration Point. But we couldn't drive any farther in to see Natural Bridge, they had closed the road.
 
We did go around on Highway 12 to the Mossy Cave trail. This is a great one with kids. But it was muddy! The snow banks helped the kids wipe off their shoes, but I still had quite some cleaning to do when we got back to the hotel.


 
The boys climbed up to that hole in the rock in the middle with JB and I took this picture below of them climbing. 
 
 
 
 
And he took this picture of them at the top.

 
 
 
This is the Mossy Cave at the end. The ice formations were pretty neat. The boys teased Millie that we were in Elsa's castle. Ben could have hiked all day.


 
 
See the mud on my pants on the way back? It's from Millie's shoes. She alternated being carried and walking.


Here are the little boys becoming Junior Rangers at the visitors center. There were people from all over the world there, and Max saw two friends from school.


 The views were just incredible. Even Millie was talking about hoo-doos in her little voice.
