Bryce Canyon 2009

We had a great time at our annual camp-out at Bryce Canyon. Our days were jam packed with games, hiking, ATV riding and so much more!

Lounging in the hammock


Kinley sure enjoyed her time with Grandma & Grandpa!

And Daddy too!
cuddling with her kitty cat (it's fake, but looks so real)
One day we all rented ATV's and went on a 4 hour scenic ride. Kinley was grinning from ear to ear the whole time!

When we would get to a look out point we would keep our helmets on because they were too confusing to get off!


Showing her big riding muscles!

Then on the ride down the mountain, Kinley fell asleep and took about an hour nap! Good thing she was pinned in between us pretty tight!


Adam cooking our sloppy joe dinner!

Another day we went into the park and enjoyed some beautiful views! No matter how many times we have seen it, it takes our breath away every time!

Every year we take a hike to the waterfall and Mossy Cave. It is the highlight of our trip because the waterfall is so fun to play in!

Brittney almost getting brain freeze!

Horsehoes! The young guys vs. old guys. The young finally won the last of 6 games! They were pretty excited!

We love this trip and look forward to it every year! All summer vacations are over and now it is time to catch our breath!

Summer Trip #3!

We headed up to Montana to spend some time with the Posey clan last week. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed a lot of activities with the family.

Cousin Ryley was a little shy when we first got there, but Kinley broke the ice with a sucker peace offering! Worked like a charm and they were attached at the hip the rest of the trip!


bath time

The next morning we went water skiing, Grandpa was determined to get Brittney up on the water ski. . . didn' t happen, really close, but maybe next time!


The stud before the big ski!
After someone went, Kinley would ask, can I go now? No fear!

So Adam took her on the wakeboard! She was so awesome!
Here is Kinley doing her thing!


After a little boating we played in the water!
The next morning the three of us decided to try our luck fishing. Even with Kinley calling out "here fishy, fishy" we still didn't catch anything, but we had fun trying!


I was innocently standing there when all of a sudden I was
whacked in the head with wet fish bait! Cute picture huh?!
Later that morning we went on a hike to a waterfall. It was 3 miles round trip, I think Kinley walked about 3/4 of the way, not too bad!


We tuckered them right out!

Then we visited with Great Grandma and Grandpa!

Eating smores!
These two had a great time together and loved
playing with their matching Montana bears!

We made it through yet another vacation this summer unscathed! Now we are getting ready for trip #4 to Bryce Canyon in a few days! It has been a lot of fun, but I will be glad when I can sleep in my bed for more than a couple days at a time!

Thanks G&G Posey for a wonderful trip!
