Vacation!

At the end of June we went to Bryce Canyon for the annual Griffiths family camping trip. We rented a tent trailer and it made things much more pleasant. We slept great every night.



We spent the days hiking, swimming, and 4 wheeling. Eliza is quite the little hiker. She walked on her own on every hike. Luke and JJ got the easy ride in the backpacks.



My favorite hike was a short one to Mossy Cave and there was a waterfall, Luke's favorite. We got to walk in the river and it was very refreshing.



Our evenings were spent eating and playing games while visiting with family. It was a fun trip and the kids loved seeing their grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins.



On our way home from Bryce we went to Lagoon. We had such a great time with Liza and Luke. Jameson stayed home with Nana for most of the day and then joined us later. Thanks so much Nana! We spent most of our time in Kiddieland but we did go to Laguna Beach and hit some big kid rides.



Eliza was almost tall enough for all the big rides. They let her on the Big White Roller Coaster without measuring her. She loved it! We did not get away with that on other rides though. Luke loved the Dinosaur Drop and the Dragon ride. Jameson did the train, Carousel, and boats.



Everyone got to win a stuffed animal playing a game as well. On the way out of Lagoon they all got soaked running through the water fountain at the front. What a way to end a fun and fabulous day!

What a great trip! It looks beautiful there. I've never been and will have to put it on my to see list! Lagoon looked like fun too! We are excited to go when we move there! My kids were so brave at the rides in San Diego I'm sure they'll eat up all the big rides there too! Can't wait to see you and Liza tomorrow! Be ready for the heat!

Hooray for camping! We should rent a trailer the next time we go somewhere, I am sure it made it much more enjoyable! Lagoon looked fun, we are taking Emma on Saturday. See ya soon, hopefully!

Camping does sound fun with a trailer. You guys do such fun things! I feel privileged to have been able to bring Jameson to Lagoon to participate with you at the end of the day and see the fun especially with the water.
Love, Mom
