One Crazy Summer - Part 1
Our first real vacation in a very LOOOONNGGGG time as a family.
We went to Blanding, UT for a family reunion and celebrated Independence Day.
JULY 3rd
But we made a quick stop in Santaquin, UT and checked out a pioneer cabin where Auntie K helps run and maintain for the Daughter of Utah Pioneers.
We were able to get our own personal tour of the place.
We made it to Blanding!!!
Let the festivities begin....
Talent Show.
Homemade family videos shared for fun entertainment
(the S&L Byrd video was pretty awesome too):
A really fun homemade tent made by Grandma Byrd.
JULY 4th
With the Cousins
"The Gadianton Band"
Treasure Hunt with Grandpa Byrd:
Longest and Most Difficult Excavation Effort EVER!!
AMAZING SUNSETS.... who needs fireworks (though we saw them in the distance)...Spectacular!:
JULY 5th
Anasazi Ruins Hike in the surrounding wilderness (a must):
Remains of Anasazi Structure
Horned Toads
Anasazi pottery shards that were found, photographed and then placed back on the ground
Finding cool rocks on the road:
Elk Farms (we've never seen before):
JULY 6th
Time to head back to California:
Could be the last time we see this place (with a photo bomber)?
Visiting Great-grandparents' gravesite
Totally last minute detour.... family has never been to ARCHES NATIONAL PARK!
