Green River

Family trip to green river, although while we were there it was more like the red river, because of some flash flooding further north.Crystal Geyser is supposed to be pretty cool when it goes off, but it is random and all we got to see was some bubbling and a small stream of water coming out the side of the pipe.
Super cool "waterfalls" by the crystal geyser

Goblin Valley was super fun and we went on the best day, warm with a nice cloud cover. Luckily we left right before the wind started picking up and it started to rain.


This is what Elijah thought about riding in the car so much!

We were going to stay three nights but the second night it started to rain right after I started cooking dinner. It rained for a few hours while we hung out in the car and let the food cook in the dutch oven under an umbrella. The rain stopped right when it was time to eat, but picked up off and on again through out the night. We decided we didn't want to risk another night in the rain so we headed home, stopping in price on the way to see the dinosaur museum.

Capital Reef



Time again for the best part of summer, the annual Benson family camping trip. The kids have so much fun playing with their cousins, and this year we even had a PiƱata to celebrate some birthdays.The waterfall was the best part of the trip, until Elijah got to a place where he couldn't touch and I decided to try to help him fully dressed with a camera in my hand. I saved Elijah and the Camera but got soaking wet up to my armpits.


The hike to the arch was a lot harder than the kids thought it would be, but everyone made it.
Aspen and Sarah were inseparable on the trip, it was nice to have a willing babysitter.
