We only had a day so we went for it and took the kids camping up at Red Canyon. The weather was supposed to be really bad but we decided to do it anyway. The weather turned out to be really bad and it made for a challenging camping trip. We spent a lot more time in the tent then we were hoping to. In the middle of the night, we even got all the kids up for a half an hour while a thunder and lightning storm passed over our heads. It had just been such a wet summer, that this was our only chance, so we did it.
It was fun in the morning when we got to take the kids for a hike. We chose the Pink Ledges Trail that was right by the Visitor Center. We saved this trail for this particular situation when Zyla was hiking. This trip was big because she was going to be hiking on her own, I would not be carrying her at all as Conrad was now in the baby backpack. We even outfitted Zyla in her own little backpack for the hike. Well, it was a challenge keeping her moving. She enjoys everything that is in front of her so much that she does not feel the need to discover what is around that next corner yet. The trail was somewhat steep, so Mommy and Daddy had to hold her hand at some of the steeper places.
Jacqueline was not too happy with how steep the trail was, but I knew that Zyla could do it and she did great. The trail was only 1 mile long so we only hiked for an hour, but it was fun nonetheless.
