Fall Break in Utah

October 11-15, 2012, was all three children's fall break.  Since this was a perfect time to get away, we took full advantage!  We started by heading to Goblin Valley

Sweet Sisterly Love

This is how Jake felt every time I took pictures!

We had never been to Goblin Valley before so we were in for a treat.  We loved it!  It was like being on another planet.  We definitely want to return there again soon.

Sure Love this Man

Yes, there was snow on Fall Break!

 We drove through Escalante and hit some snow.  We broke out the Justin Beiber Christmas CD and rocked some Christmas music through the snow.  Poor Joe was white knuckling it through the slick mountain roads.

 We spent a day in Bryce Canyon.  Unfortunately, every time we've visited here, it's been freezing cold.  This trip was no different.  The scenery is unbelievable though.

 To finish off the trip, we visited Zions National Park and spent the night in St. George, UT.  We hiked to the top of Angel's landing and I thought I was going to die!  Jake and I were the only 2 in our family to make it to the very top.  Tammy, Randy and family went with us and they proved to have no fear.

Near the top, there is a chain attached to the mountain and you have to hold on to this chain for safety.  I haven't had many things scare me this much!  It didn't help that there is a sign down below stating how many fatalities occur each year.  Blah!  Once I actually made it to the top, it was easier coming down.  I was proud of Jake and we had a great time.

 Sure do love this crazy family of mine and our adventures.  Can't believe next year will be the last official fall break with all my children in school.  Morgan will be a senior and will graduate the next year.  Talk about scarey!
