Spring break at Goblin Valley


We went to Goblin Valley with Rob's parents and Rob's brother Scott's family.  We bought a class C motor home and this was the first trip we took it on.  We boon docked nearby and had a great time!  In this picture, all the kids except for Adalyn (who was strapped to me) are in it. (Plus Grandma and Rob.)

Makayla and Lizzy
Little white horse canyon was a fun hike.  It was fairly crowded, because it was spring break, but this was an out-and-back hike, and a slot canyon, so we knew we wouldn't lose any kids...we just worried about them occasionally climbing too high.

This was our amazing camp site.  Rob's parents were in a tent, Scott's family had a tent and a travel trailer.  The kids just explored and climbed.
Hi Michael!  
I only had to take Adalyn off once because of narrowness during the way up, but I didn't have to take her off on the way down, because the angle was better.




Pictures didn't really turn out in the RV.

Adalyn was going from 3 naps to 2 naps and just wanted me to hold her (which wasn't possible while I was cooking).  She screamed for a while, then Uncle Scott was able to calm her down & she fell asleep.
Movie before bed with cousins.  Emma was bouncing off the walls. Zachary, Makayla, and the twins sleep in the bunk above the driver's seat.  Emma and Michael share the bed on the table.  Christopher has the couch bed to himself, incase I needed to trade with him and sleep with Adalyn on it, but that wasn't needed.
Adalyn slept on the floor during part of the night, and with me on the bed, during the rest of it.  The cupboards make it feel safe to have her there, and the memory foam we added made our bed very comfortable.
Goblin Valley!  Even though the parking lot was full and we had to wait in line for an hour, it was not crowded at all on our hike.
Nature's playground.






 Nathan was also able to get Adalyn to sleep when she was flipping out.
