The Ures and the Goblins

The first week of June we took a trip with the Ures to Goblin Valley and enjoyed hiking in "Little Wild Horse Canyon". This has become a family favorite. Aside from loosing Mia it was a great adventure for all. We were separated from Mia for about 20 min. Just a few minutes of panic, then all was well.


The Kids so loved to climb the red rock and we discovered that Tayson is very much like his Grandpa Von. We would loose track of him only to see him on the highest cliff, just thrilled to be there.







We had the most amazing camp site ever!!!! It was very private and we had our own canyons to explore and climb right there. The kids had as much fun at the camp site as they did in Goblin Valley. The six cousins had a great time in their imaginary worlds of castles and kingdoms. It was so fun to watch them enjoy the splendor and each other.




We had good food, wonderful weather, and great company.




Goblin Valley can always be counted on to be a good time. This picture is of Derid, Tayson, Caleb and Sammy after much climbing and playing.



After two nights of camping, 3days of adventure we had to say good-bye to the Ures. They headed back to Texas and we headed home. We hope to have many more trips with them it was Great! Great! Great! Love you all.

Seriously amazing!
I just love that area.
We thought your camp site was pretty darn cool.

We finally purchased our plane tickets to come out--so it's official--and only the price of 1/2a year's salary-- hee, hee (you are all worth it!!).
