Capitol Reef

We had a great weekend with my family in Capitol Reef. The weather was actually perfect. I am such a baby in hot weather. I would rather have it on the cold side than at all too hot. We were not planning on going anywhere, then my mom suggested Capitol Reef. It ended up being really fun.

There were tons of caterpillars around. Bev is a bug-lover. She has no fear. She helped Jessica get used to them.
I know--this is kind of a mean picture. There is an old school house that is all set up like it would have been back in the day. In the corner is a chair with a dunce hat. Andrew, Bev and Kiki all tried it on.
The cousins all had a blast hiking and running around together.
On the back of a tractor.

The whole gang.
In front of Chimney Rock.
Kiki and Jess hiked most of the time. Occasionally they asked to be carried. It looks like Uncle Ryan drew the short end of the stick with this one. We have so many National Parks so close to home--we have made it a goal to see as many as possible. The kids love being in the great outdoors hiking, exploring and running around.

So fun. The hat isn't mean because it's not true, just funny. I love that Bev loves bugs! She'll fit right in with our gang after you move and we get to keep her.

It looks like you had another wonderful weekend. Kiki in the dunce hat and and Bev teaching the wonder of bugs to Jessica is priceless. Remember these time always.
