Spring Break

For us here in the Jordan Valley
Spring Break only lasts a few days,

but it was enough time for our family
to get away from the city
and explore some of our favorite places.

We did our camping in Green River
but our first day we discovered
a great new hike.

Little Wild Horse Canyon


and the best part of this hike is the slot canyons

that get closer

and closer together.


The kids really enjoyed this hike
including the youngest two
who I thought might get worn out.

After lunch,
and a little rest we visited

Goblin Valley

probably our kids most FAVORITE

place to hang out

and do some climbing.

There is always a lot of red dirt on clothes and in shoes

but it is the perfect place
to play a game of
family hide-n-seek.

The following day
was spent at

Arches National Park

where as a family we hiked the easy route
to get a view of delicate Arch,the kids got a little looney,

and these three found a new perspective of
delicate arch

as they hiked to it.

While I took the other children

to find a few different arches

throughout the park.

Despite the cool weather
it was a great family get away
and one we will return to again in the future.
