We had our annual family camping trip to Goblin valley. We were able to stay at the campground and it was great. We had a huge pavillion and lots of room for everyone. There were bathrooms and showers (great for washing the kids off after being in the dirt all day) The went to the Valley of the Goblins (sandstone rocks that the wind and water have transformed into these weird shapes. Saturday we went on a hike up Little Wild Horse Canyon. We got really far until there was water that we didn't want to hike through. Brett, Scott, Ali, Tyler and Celeste went up farther. It was crazy to walk thru these super tight slot canyons. The kids did a great job we had to carry them most of the way down but it was a fun time. Saturday night there was a wind storm. I wa already in the tent and had to run out and start throwing stuff in totes so it wouldn't blow away. The tent held up thru the rain though, NO LEAKES!! YEAH! I was super happy about that. Sunday morning it looked like there was going to be another huge storm but it missed us. It was a great trip and can't wait for next year!!

Hiking thu Little Wild Horse Canyon. There were some points that we had to have adults helping kids and each other to get over the bigger rocks. I'm glad we have such a great family!
Looking down on the slot
We came to some water that was too deep to cross (plus it was freezing) Brett wanted to see how far it went so he straddled the ways and got almost to the end of the water when he fell in. It was a great hike!!
