Spring Break Day 4

 We started the day off with some General Conference. Then we headed over to the Dam visitors center so the kids could get their Jr Ranger badges. Today we hiked Wire Pass/Buckskin Gulch. We put in for the Wave lottery, but none of us got it. This was a great hike, the kids loved it! We went in about 3 miles. Most of the kids wanted to keep going, but we decided to head back. It is a good thing we did, the little kids were dragging the last mile back to the car. After we hiked we headed home. 

Another awesome Spring Break in the books!

Spring Break Day 3, Sedona

The drive to Sedona was beautiful. We started our Vortex tour with the Chapel of the Cross, then Airport Mesa, Bell Rock, and Cathedral Rock.

It was pretty windy and cold all day, so most of us weren't feeling the vortex's. Bensen did get a little teary eyed at the Chapel of the Cross. Viv complained about her arm hurting, and Grandpa Max's hearing aids were buzzing at Airport Mesa. My lungs were burning at Cathedral Rock...not because of the vortex, but the straight up hike to get there!

On our way back to the house we stopped in Flagstaff at Big Foot Barbeque. It was pretty good.

 

Spring Break day 2, Lake Powell and Lees Ferry

We got up and headed to Lake Powell! We stopped first at the visitors center. The kids picked up their Jr Ranger books to work on. Mike got to see the Rainbow Bridge...in a picture. Out of all the years we have been to Lake Powell Mike has yet to see the Rainbow Bridge. This might be as close as he ever gets! Then we headed over to Lone Rock beach. We were able to drive right down to the water. That was a little scary we didn't get stuck in the sand, but several others did while we were there. We spent a good portion of the day here paddle boarding and playing in the sand.  Then we took a drive down to Lee's Ferry and the Navajo Bridge.
