Jer and my mom decided that the family needed to take a trip to Escalante National Park. No one had ever been and they wanted to check it out. Besides I wanted to take a camping trip and Jeremy just likes vacations period. So we packed up the car (it was like a Tetris game to get it all to fit), left early morning Friday, and set out for an adventure.
Petrified Forest Hike (Steph, Jas, B and B hadn't made it yet): Jer being funny, me and the kids touching a big piece of petrified wood, giant lizard (or small dinosaur), Tre, Tre and Jer, Grandpa and grandma looking at a black widow, Tre, Belle
Devils Garden, my favorite!: me on top of an arch, family picture, me and Tre, me and the kids, Tre climbing a tree, Tre and Jer on top of an arch, Grandpa jumping a crack, Jer scaling the rocks, Tre jumping a crack, Belle and the arch in the background, Jer still climbing, Belle in her "cheetah cave", me and Tre, Tre climbing the rock, Grandma, Grandma and the kids
Camping! We stayed at this really weird site where the tent sites were just on a open space behind a store and restaurant. There was a community fire pit that we took over the two days we were there. It was still fun...even with all the stickers! From left to right, top to bottom: Jer on the phone trying to get some work done, Belle in her feety pajamas, Tre playing in the sandbox at the campsite, Belle by our tent, Jason and Jeremy in their matching outfits, Tre-Braden-Brookie-Belle in bundled in their jammies one morning, Belle and Steph in jammies, Belle eating Charleston Chews (yum!), the whole family relaxing while dinner is cooking, Jas made dutch oven chicken and rice and Caramel Apple Cobbler. It was SO good!, the kids playing a multiplication game Grandma brought.
Lower Calf Creek Falls hike: Here's the gist of the pics...10 hikers, 8 hiking sticks with 2 being used as Light Sabers, Flying Spaghetti Monster, climbing trees, posing for pics by the falls,
searching for points of interest along the hike
Grosvenor Arch: Jer and I, the kids sitting on a rock, Jeremy at the top where he climbed up the backside of this MASSIVE arch, Braden in a cave, the kids scaling the arch making Grandma nervous, the arch from a distance, Tre and Belle climbing. This arch has a major dirt road you have to drive on to get there. Jason and his minivan was not happy. The Check Engine light came on while on this road. BUT...I think the arch was SO worth it. It was beautiful!

Such a fun place! What a great way to finish up the summer.
I've never been there either but it looks like it was super fun and you'd recommend it. If I ever DO go, I want the chicken and rice and apple cobbler, dutch oven style. There is nothing better than that!!!
