The Utah crew all met up at Los Hermanos for a very hectic and fun lunch.
And then it was off to one of the most beautiful places I have seen with my own eyes…Vivian Park.
We always make a stop, but every time, I think it gets prettier and prettier.
And as my kids get older, they are more excited about hiking, picking wildflowers, and going on adventures.
A few pics from the day:

This kid cruised the river the whole time we were there.

All of the boys discovered a water snake, and they spent 30 minutes trying to catch it.

These cousins picked wildflowers along the way.

After a while, we sent the little kids back, and took the “bigs” on a longer hike.
It was so pretty and so fun.

We finally headed back for the watermelon smash.

Obviously my fruit lovers were fans.
(But I will admit that the watermelon got quite the “smash” from Gabe, and maybe got smashed a bit too much this time.)

And then it was time to head home.
The day WIPED all of the kids.
WIPED!
Just check out Dash, who was sound asleep before I even put his full seat belt on.
