We have done a lot of camping. The first year we spent almost one month of nights in our trailer.
We learned that I should not do the measuring for projects or purchases. It would fit in the parking spot by the house, but the opening to the parking spot is not big enough. So we have to pay to park it. Maybe some day we will combine our driveway with our neighbors and then we will be able to park it by our house.
Where did we go?
1 night at a Lakeside Campground in Provo, to break it in. It is a good thing we did this night. We did not know how to open the by-pass valve for the hot water heater. We learned a lot and the next trip was all the better for it.
2 nights at the KOA in Cannonville to visit Bryce Canyon.
June took us to Capitol Reef. We stayed at the Thousand Lakes RV Park. We broke it in with Jessica getting sick all over the bath room one night, but I still think it was easier to deal with than it would have been in a tent. We also took our friend Paul.
The Valley at Sunset |
These pictures were not too bad, considering I forgot my camera and used my Blackberry. |
We also took a day to go to Goblin Valley. Cool place.
July found us on our way to Yellowstone National Park. We went by way of Craters of the Moon National Monument and Arco ID. We stayed at the Mountain View RV Park one night. In Yellowstone we stayed at the Bridge Bay campground- No hook-up but we loved the upper-loops above the amphitheater. We stayed on night at Flagg Ranch and then a couple of night at Colter Bay RV park in Grand Teton.
Arco is known for farming, and also the World First Nuclear Reactor. The kids played with the mock control panel and of course Marshall climbed on it. |
We did not enter this way, but we did drive to this entrance one day and see the famous arch. |
We did the chuck wagon dinner ride up in the Roosevelt area. It was really cool, although rainy. |
Old Faithful |
For fall break we wen to Zion National Park. It was a perfect time to visit. We stayed at the Zion River Resort.
Jessica used this for her reflections contest at school- Diversity
We have a great Christmas in 2011. Including visits with Santa and a visit to the elves at Gardner Village.
In February of 2012 Jessica participated in her first ice skating competition - The Utah Winter Games
She took first place and earned a gold medal.
