Warning: This post is going to be long!
We have been in Bryce Canyon, Utah for the past week.
This is the start of the vacation. Isn't it beautiful?
Lightening Strike started this fire prior to us arriving. They started out with it under control but soon got out of control.

Camp! A couple of years ago, Kent and I went to Bryce and we meet Lee and Becky. They work at Ruby's Inn and we became friends. They came over every night to sit by the fire and visit.
Amy loving her marshmallows.
Amy and Hannah getting ready for our first ride to Circleville.
Starting to warm up.
Potty break!
On the way to circleville. We went through so many places that look like this. Isn't that trail awesome?
This is where we should have turned around, it was another 16 miles to Circleville from here and once we got into town the gas station was closed. We rode 6 miles on the highway to get gas. This ride was 160 miles and we were gone for 12 hours. Yep, 12 long hours. The kids did great! The adults not so much.
Tropic Reservoir, sure was smokey.

Papa Rich crossing the stream.
Amy did so awesome on her new quad. She is already jumping it.
This is in a private area that we snuck into. Its right on the edge of the canyon and is so beautiful.
Same Area.
This is Pine lake, you can fish in this lake and its so pretty.
Powell point. This ride is awesome, once you get to the top you have a 3/4 mile hike. Its the longest 3/4 of a mile you'll ever walk. It is a spectacular view when and if you make it. This is 10300 feet and the air was so hard to breath.
My dad and Kent took turns carrying Hannah on the hike.
Sweet Hannah
The view at Powell point. You can see all 4 corners of the states.
Lunch break.

More Pine lake.
Sunday we rode to Casto Canyon, which is where all the red rock is. This was amazing and one of my favorite rides.

Lunch Break.
This just cracks me up. Your driving along and you come around a corner to find cows grazing or deer. This trip I didn't get any pictures of the deer. But they sure were pretty.
Arches that you drive through when you enter and leave Bryce Canyon.
Farewell Bryce.... Until we meet again.

You're BACK! YAY! Looks like you had a great time. Maybe we can go next year! I love all your pictures, the scenery is sooo pretty! XoXo
Wow that looks really cool and like you had a great time. I can't believe you were gone for 12 hours straight that one day! I would've been hating life that day - haha! Glad the girls did good though!
How beautiful! Glad you guys had a fun and safe trip!
What beautiful pictures and scenery. What a fun family trip!
That is so funny that your Hannah is Hannah Grace, because we could not decide to name our daughter Hannah, Faith, or Grace. But our last name is Hass, and we thought that Grace Hass kinda sounded like great *ss, so we had to veto that one. But I love that name.
