Bryce Canyon

At about 1:30 this afternoon (I guess it's technically yesterday afternoon now), Ruth and I headed out of Cedar City and made our way over to Bryce Canyon. We went and hiked to a few different spots. We hiked to Sunrise Point and Sunset Point, just so we could say we hiked from sunrise to sunset! We also hiked down into the Queens Garden, which was fun because of all the switchbacks and mini tunnels you had to go through. Then we took a drive to the more southern parts of the park. We decided after pulling over at one lookout point that we liked the scenery up in the northern part of the park better. So we went back up to Bryce Point, and then hiked around the rim to Inspiration Point. By the time we reached Inspiration Point, we were kind of regretting our last hike because we were now about 35-40 minutes from the car. Lucky for us we came across a couple from Houston Texas that were willing to give us a ride back to our starting point. After getting out of the park we got to meet up with some of my family, which was the real reason we were in the Bryce Canyon area. My Grandma Crofts is turning 90, so they were having a reunion/birthday party in her honor. So, right after leaving the park, we went to dinner with Farley, Tina and Colee. I could not believe it when I saw Colee walking. She is growing up so fast. After dinner we headed out to the campground where most of the families were staying. I was very excited to see my Mom and Dad, Hilary, and Camden. I wish Zeb and Jason could have been there too, but you can't win them all. I also got to see Grandma Crofts, Aunt Sue and a couple of her kids, and a few other relatives. I was so excited to see everyone again, but it was a short lived event for me as I had to get back on the road to Cedar City so I could be to work on time. It was definitely a fun day, and I can't wait until I can see my family again. Here are some pictures from Bryce Canyon. Hope you enjoy!

Um....HELLO!! So unbelievable pissed at you right now sky! You were 10 min. away from me (all of you!) and you didn't call me? I would have come and said hi for a couple min! So not fair! I demand you come and do it all over again! ;) Seriously though, I'm so sad I didn't get to see you. Do you not love me anymore?
