Jayden and I met Kristine and her kids at the zoo for the sunset safari. It was hot but we had a lot of fun!!! We looked at the animals, ate dinner, rode the train and carousel. Jayden could have watched the gorilla's forever! He loves gorillas. They have a new playground area that the kids had fun playing in. It was a great night!!!
Jayden and I went to the Treehouse museum for some summer fun! We stayed for 3 hours. It was lots of fun! We built a cool building with the Legos, played giant chess, and lots of other things too. I love hanging out with my sweet little boy!!!
It was such a hot day, that I decided to get the inflatable pool out for Jayden to play in. I got it cleaned up and blown up. He played dinosaurs and sea animals in it for a long time. I sat in the shade and crocheted. I love his imagination! He was telling me a chapter story while he was playing. We got to chapter 5.
We took our trailer and headed to go camping at Bryce Canyon National Park. We stayed at a campground right outside the park, Ruby's Inn campground. It was not a bad spot. We stayed for 5 nights (went on a Monday and left on a Saturday). We had lots of fun! We took a scenic route to get there--through no where. We probably saw parts of Utah most people have not seen. It was long and boring. We went into the park almost everyday for a couple hours. Tuesday we did a good hike (Navajo Loop and then Queens Garden) It was cool to go down below the hoodoo's and see that viewpoint. That night we went and look through the telescopes for the night sky thing. We saw Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, and the moon. We saw a few other stars but I don't remember what they were. We watched a presentation before that which was pretty good. Wednesday we took a hike to Mossy Cave. It was pretty! There was a cave with moss that dripped and a different little trail took you to a little waterfall. We went into the park and saw half of the viewpoints. We took another little hike--Bristlecone Loop. Thursday we had a down day at the trailer. Jayden really wanted to have a day to play Go Gater and "camp"/stay at the trailer. It was nice to have a lazy day! Friday we went into the park and got Jayden's Jr. Ranger badge and patch. We did the other half of the park and went to the viewpoints. We went back to the trailer. Eric and Jayden went swimming in the pool at the campground. They had fun! Bryce is a beautiful place and I'm so glad I got to see it with my family! I loved seeing Jayden's reaction to views. He is the coolest kid I know! We had such a fun trip!!! It was hard to come home.
