Bryce National Park

By Amity -
We had another amazing day today.  We decided to do a hike called "Fairytale Loop".  We started into it and sure enough all the hoodoo's looked like castles.  After a few miles in, with every turn the landscape was equally amazing.  We went into it thinking we'd turn around at about 2.5 miles, we didn't want to push Emily.  When we reached the halfway point we asked her what she wanted to do and she said "lets keep going and see where this takes us".  Our little girl is impressing us each day!  As we were hiking down a hill we were discussing the strains on your muscles going up hill vs. down hill.  Emily tells me "I just pinch my butt cheeks it help me".  That's my girl....working on her core!  

We stopped at about 5.5 miles for lunch and then finished up the hike back where we started.  We did the whole 8.8 mile loop in 5 hours with our stops.  We are proud of both the kids and it was an amazing hike.  After wards we stopped for food and dessert. We let the kids splurge on dessert, Emily had chocolate cream pie and Mac had cherry pie with ice cream.  It was a great day!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
