We spent an afternoon in Capital Reef a couple of weeks ago, and had such a great time. The weather was great, not too hot or too cold. Wayne's parents and youngest brother joined us. Even though it was a quick trip, we really had a wonderful time!
This is a view of the Goosenecks. I have to admit that I was a nervous mother. I made Bradley hold Wayne's hand while walking along all the edges. I'm just a bit over protective I think.
This is the look out at the Goosenecks. These are Wayne's parents Keith and Mikki, and his little brother Rhett.
This pioneer home belonged to the Behunin family. They had 8 children. The parents and their 2 small children lived in the cabin. Up the hill behind the cabin was a cave that they dug out for the boys to live in, and the girls made a bed in their box wagon. Quite humbling isn't it?
This photo shows the river cutting fairly deep into the sandstone. We are looking south in this photo.
This was taken from the same spot as the previous photo, I just turned so we are looking north. This is just before the waterfall.
We didn't realize that you could swim here. There were about 4 families enjoying the sun and the water here. I think it would have still been a little cold for me though.
Elli and her daddy watching the waterfall.
Bradley found the stinkiest mud and began a rescue project for the water skeeters. Leave it to him to do the dirtiest thing around. He had fun though, and that's what counts!
What a cute kid!
Elli and her Grandma. We haven't been able to go down and visit Wayne's parents since last year because of RSV season, so I was a little worried about Elli warming up to them. I should have known better. She is our little socialite. She took her normal 5 to 10 minutes to warm up, after that she couldn't get enough of them, or them of her.
This is Sunset Point. It was out last hike together. The day was just a little too short. We really wish we could have done more. It was a good test for Elli though. It gave us a good idea of what she can handle. I think we are going to be able to do some fun things this summer.

Hooray for fun outings! It looks like Elli handled it like a champ. Hopefully there will be lots of fun outings this summer.
What a darling picture of the three of you! You all look SO happy!
That first picture is my favorite. It's so perfect, the expressions on their faces. So darling. He really is a sweet brother, isn't he? BTW, Kinley has been reading a series called Billy and Blaze. It's simple and very very sweet, written back in the 1930's about a boy and his horse. They are more like long picture books. Anyway, thought I'd pass along the recommendation. Let me know if you find any good books for him that we can look for!
