Bryce Canyon National Park

Last week we went down to Southern Utah to camp as a family.  We camped at Bryce Canyon first.  What a beautiful area!  The land formations are really cool and like nothing I'd ever seen before.  If you've never been...you must plan to go!  We figured that since we were in Southern Utah that the weather would be just perfect for camping in the Fall.  Little did we know that Bryce Canyon is at 8-9,000 feet in elevation.  We were a wee bit cold.  Actually the kids slept really warm, it was mostly me who was cold :-)  Luckily, a kind retired couple from Seattle (they were camping right behind us) invited us into their RV to warm up in the mornings.  We ate pretty well on the trip but the desserts were my favorite...smores and peach cobbler!  Our second night in Bryce Aaron and I added boiling water to our water bottles and put them in our sleeping bags by our toes.  It helped for most of the night, but by morning I was freezing again.  It just happened to get down to 19 degrees that night...brrrrrr!  Here are some pics of our hikes:
