A spring break adventure
We decided at the last minute to go camping for spring break. Daniel had two days off from work and school which almost never happens! So we took advantage of the situation. We decided to go camping in the circle cliffs near Boulder, UT. It was our first trip all together as a family with Daniel, Canyon, Aspen and I. I know now for sure that Canyon was meant to come to our family. He LOVED camping! He is such a little explorer. When we first got out of the car, he immediately starting digging in the dirt. Then he walked around and picked up different sticks, climbed on logs and rocks, and picked leaves off of the plants. It was such a fun adventure!
We went for a little hike around our camping spot. There was a small stream near our camp site. Canyon was so excited when he saw it that Daniel decided to help him play in it.
Canyon loved the camp fire! He would sit and stare at it for hours. He even got a piece of roasted marshmallow (and quickly spit it out). In the morning he and Daniel sat and threw sticks into the fire.
Here are Canyon and Aspen dreaming of what they are going to explore that day. Canyon would try hard to follow Aspen where she went...Aspen is still a little faster than Canyon:)
Canyon even loved the tent!
We decided to go to Escalante and we hiked Calf Creek Falls. Daniel and Canyon are once again throwing sticks...this time into the river at the swimming fish.
Calf Creek Falls! Isn't it beautiful. When we first saw the falls Canyon was really excited. He said "wow wow!" He didn't like getting too close because it was very windy right by the falls. Doesn't Aspen look noble in the picture:)
This is how we hiked Canyon into see the falls. A baby backpack. Luckily Daniel carried him. He actually liked it! If he would start to get mad, Daniel would jump off rocks and run fast and Canyon thought it was hilarous. He did really good considering it was an hour and 15 minute hike each way! (Canyon's hair looks crazy because I sprayed sunscreen all over his head).
Canyon hates riding in the car and hates sitting in the car seat. It really helped to have Aspen riding next to him. When I would look back at him he would always have one hand on Aspen petting her and from time to time he would make oooh sounds. He loves that dog!

You guys are such granolas I love it. The family picture of you guys in front of Calf Creek Falls is gorgeous! I'm glad Canyon liked the camping better than he snowmobiling.
Oh he's so cute. He is such an adventurist already! Keizya really liked camping too, maybe they can go on adventures together. We want to get a baby backpack...where did you get that one? And I definitely want to know where Calf Creek Falls is...
cute little canyon and aspen!!! i hope he feels better soon!!
Wow- that is so much better than our trip with Hayley when she was his age... we left a day early to go home, and Jeremy said that he would never go camping with a baby again! He MUST be a Furr.
Canyon is cute!!! I can't believe how big he is! Your family is so cute.
