Vacation journal- Day 3

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
To the greatest dad in the world... no really. I mean who else would let their family go off on a fun vacation without them, let alone over fathers day.
Thank you for always being so selfless and putting your family first. You are the hardest working guy I know. Love you babe!

Today we started out with a horseback ride down into the canyon. The kids were so excited to go! I was very nervous as you could expect, you never know what will happen when you put a hyper child on the back of a horse. I must say that i was pleasantly surprised. The kiddies did awesome! Dylan kept his cool, and Destiny wasn't scared at all. In fact she was riding like an old pro by the time we reached the end.

Our wranglers name was Stetson- no joke!




After the fun ride we went swimming. or tried to, it is still chilly up here.

Next we drove down through red canyon which is a much smaller version of Bryce.

I decided that since today was our last day in Bryce, we were going to go hiking. I'm glad we did! it was very beautiful and the kids got a little more up close and personal with the cool rock formations.


Proof that mom went on the hike


when we came back it was... you guessed it. Swimming again, this time in the indoor pool.

On our way out of the canyon this evening we were surrounded by deer and antelope. We learned on this trip that antelope are the second fastest animal on the planet. It was very cool too see so many grazing (about20 in all) but sorry no pics since we were trying not to hit them with the car.

On to the next adventure!
