July 3rd- Monument Valley, Mexican Hat, Goose necks, Valley of the gods and Natural Bridges

The famous Monument valley highway....

Sun was tooo bright


next stop, Mexican Hat rock.... (I loved those clear skies while on vacation!!!)

Goose Necks state park

A view at the top of Mokey dug way, other side over looked Valley of the Gods

Natural Bridges Nat'l monument.... Jared took Kyler and Easton on a pretty steep hike to see one of the bridges.






Then we all took a guided hike (so the kids could earn their Junior Ranger Badge) Here the boys are at the bottom playing in the sand.... The park Ranger had to get after Kyler a lot about not staying on the trail, and picking up things! We were all exhausted after that hike! at least Kaden hiked back up.

There are many Anasazi pictographs and ruins around the bridge.

Easton... really wanting to get in that water...well Kyler ended up falling in the mud where he wasn't supposed to be.... BOYS!!!!!!

The last bridge Jared took the 3 oldest to, while I stayed with the sleeping youngest 2.


Got to Blanding about 6pm, My parents had come down and also my sister Brenda and her family and my Brother Duane's family all met at my Sister Erica's families home, where we had a yummy Lasagna dinner my mom had made. This is picture of my brother Duane holding his baby Julia and his wife Shana holding Jace. Julia was so sweet to him, but I missed getting a picture of her giving him a hug and kiss. So sweet.
