Day 2--Bryce Canyon

Wow! What a great day. We went all over Bryce Canyon. It was colder than yesterday, about 39 degrees, plus a cold wind. We went on several hikes/walks. Our favorite hike was at the highest elevation, 9000 ft. We hiked a mile or so through the snow. The kids loved being in the snow--I think they enjoyed throwing snowballs more than the scenery! Dan and Wendy enjoyed the quiet of being in the woods, all by ourselves. (A plus of visiting at this time of the year--hardly anyone is here!)

Erin also became a jr. ranger. Then it was back in the car for a 250 mile drive to Moab, Utah. We drove through "frontier" country--nothing around--we didn't pass another car for 60 miles. We drove through a bit of snow, but then were rewarded with a beautiful rainbow. The kids are swimming in the outdoor pool right now--the temperature of the pool is 89 degrees! Arches is tomorrow.
