"They're just a bunch of rocks."

Today we saw the best views yet in Bryce Canyon. It was pretty amazing. We got to walk down Wall Street, see Thor's Hammer, and pose for numerous pictures while smelling trees. We missed seeing the Queen, but we did get to see a picture. I personally took more pictures here than any other park, as every view was one I want to remember.

We got back to the camp fairly early so we could do 16 loads of laundry (ok, maybe 6 or so) and go to the pool. This afternoon actually feels like a vacation, since we aren't rushing off to do anything. We are planning to take a walk down to the Old Town touristy shops after dinner and perhaps look for some ice cream. Tomorrow is a driving day to get to Moab, where we will spend two more days of fun and excitement.

(P.S. The title quote comes from a 3-yr-old at Zion who was just a bit tired of being dragged around in the heat by his parents. He also made up some good stories about seeing snakes and announced to the entire shuttle that Mommy was going to give him monster kisses back at the hotel...)

  1. Today when we were leaving a overlook of the Bryce Canyon I heard a little kid ask his mom "do we have to take pictures of everything?" The mom's answer was "Yes". I love all the funny things little kids say.

  2. They're just a bunch of rocks but, man, they're the coolest bunch of rocks you're ever going to see.

    And to add to Madeline, the kid above obviously didn't realize that he would only be able to see this once, so the more pictures you have, the further you'll be able to remember it.

    Picture count: all together is easily 2000-3000 range.

  3. I loved Bryce so much. I was sad that our visit was cut short because of our car troubles. It was like a fairyland. I loved being towered over by the unusual and beautiful rocks!
