One of the neatest things about Duck Creek is that it is so close to Bryce Canyon. So we packed a lunch on our last day and headed to the Park. We stopped at the Visitors Center where we learned about how Bryce Canyon formed in a video. We couldn't help joking about the funny name for the funky rock formations: Hoodoos. Anthony kept saying "Get you hand off my Hoodoo"! It never really got old the entire day. What did get old was the game I was playing with the kids about native birds to the Park. I told them if they could spot them I would pay them a dollar for each one. We had to keep reestablishing the rules....they thought it was one of those get rich quick schemes....not just an eduactional exercise with a small monetary prize ending as I had intended!! They were cute though and it did keep them busy!
After a quick lunch we were off to explore and hike
This hike went really deep into the canyon with lots of switchbacks it was perfect for the kids...but really hot by the end.
The lighting was really hard the further in we got. We all look like we have fake tans
Some how these two trees grew amidst all the red rock, but had not branches until very high up? Strange.
We tried to do Hanna's hair like Katelyns from the day before, but because it is so long, it kind of looked more like Princess Leia
Anthony's cute family
I think this squirrel is used to people..... the kids were feeding it nuts from the trail mix
So many neat formations
Hey get your eyes off my hoodoos!!!

wooo wooo good lookin' hoodoos! :)
I wonder if it's as funny to anyone else as it was to all of us or if it's one of those 'had to have been there' kind of things.
We went to Bryce Canyon in June, so I have pictures of some of those same places. So fun. You look adorable as always.
