summer trips

we've been absent from blogging lately, but we have been having fun going on little trips and waiting for summer to come around!

we went to mesquite in may to my inlaws' condo, and on the way home jeff and i stopped at zion nat'l park and did some hiking in the rain! it was great!

at the beginning of june, we went camping (jeff's idea...) in southern utah while we hit arches, goblin valley, capitol reef, escalante (calf creek falls, grand staircase area) and bryce canyon. it was actually better than i anticipated but i was still really excited to get home to sleep in a bed and shower!

jeff thought it was funny the casinos said craps. what do we know about gambling?

jeff doing his midget poses at the pool - the water made his legs look really short!

at angel's landing - it was raining and so humid!!

arches

delicate arch. way too windy. tourists flying all over in the wind.

goblin valley was my favorite stop - we ate lunch in a cave

"the hog's back" is the scariest road ever. and i was the one driving.

jeff is crazy and went swimming in the freezing water at calf creek falls

this is someone's poor excuse for a campsite. we had to camp in these planter boxes...and pay?

at bryce - it was so cold!
