Escalante

We took a little weekend trip with my mom and my brother's family to Escalante and southern Utah. We LOVE the scenery and the fun rock formations-we are so lucky to live in a state that has such great scenic diversity! We have so much fun exploring and discovering fun new hidden places in our own backyard. Here are a few pics of our travels.Lower Calf Creek FallsMy cute mom & sisters, Jessie & SarahThe boys hanging out on the trail (waiting for the women as usual)

Alex went from fully clothed-to this in about 5 minutes flat.We had lots of fun identifying the flowers and wildlife on the trails we hiked. Sam was quite the expert by the time we were done. She loved taking her wildflower guide and discovering all the different flowers in bloom. We really had to watch her because she just couldn't help picking a few here and there!Sporting our great $5 Smith & Edwards gardening hats. I know they may look a little funny, but a little skin cancer prevention goes a long way with our fair skin and fiery hair. A little rest stop at a local park in a tiny blink-and-miss town we went through. (There was someone having a wedding right behind us, at the rodeo grounds. Yeehaw).
