These first few pics are at one of the little stops across from the Blacksmith Shop in Capitol Reef, but I couldn't remember or find its name.
Here is my niece and nephew. Jennica and Adam being funny.

There was a little building with a bunch of children activities that teach about capitol reef and its history.

A bunch of us did this stamping station where you had to find the stamp of animals prints and stamp them in the correct box on the paper. I must e a kid at heart cause I thought it was fun...lol.

Across the street to the Blacksmith Shop. I thought this was so funny, how all the guys were peering inside for a while, while us women just stood back.

Malias on an old tiller...or something like that next to the Shop. It didn't say anywhere what it was.

I just loved this old truck...dunno really why. It just looks cool. Its out in front of the Historic Gifford Homestead.

The Historic Gifford Homestead
This was fun because I love seeing old homes decorated the way it would have been in the early 1900's. It also has hand made items for sale like, jams, salsas, aprons, soaps and much more.

They also sold little homemade ice cream cups for like a dollar. This is everyone enjoying there ice cream in front of the house.

This is in front of the petroglyphs.

The boarded walkway to some more petroglyphs. I love how pretty this walk way looks with the soft tree shade and the red rocks.

Back at the campground. This is a nice campground with showers and a pool. We have been here quite a few times.

I don't remember what this face was for...I think he was looking at the fire....scary fire?? hee hee

On Saturday (the second day) we drove to the trail head of Calf Creek about an hour away. This is such a great hike. This was my third time hiking it and I think I love it more each time. Its a 6 mile hike round trip but SO worth it. This is just after we started.

We made it to the Amazing waterfall! The hike follows a little creek between two cliffs until you come to a dead end and the waterfall its so awsome looking.

What an amazing sight!! I love it.

Malias thought the dirt was Awesome.....

Matt swimming in the freezing water. The hike can get pretty hot and by the time you get there the freezing water doesn't sound so bad. Although I didn't get in this time it was nice to get my feet wet.

Jennica playing in the gooey mud. Her brave Daddy carried her whenever she didn't want to walk...which was most of the way!!

I don't know why he was crying here. Kenny had been swishing his feet in the water and then whe he took him out he started to cry for a min. Maybe he didn't want to stop or maybe his feet got to cold?


Heading back to the cars after a long rest and fun at the falls. Beautiful scenery!!
