Canyonlands

Went to Canyonlands a couple weekends ago for another awesome camping trip with my family - I went to the same camp site all growing up when I was my kids age -they loved exploring with their cousins and we loved being camp parents and letting them loose unattended, hoping they'd come back by dinner:)




Eating costco chocolate cake Nelson Style - just grab a fork and go for it~

hanging out at the camp fire

Scott and Mandy, the camp nanny and manny - they are way too nice and play with the kids all day long while their parents veg and just yell at their kids from the camp chairs to go play with some more dirt.

4-wheeling - I was diplomatically uninvited to come because I am such a horrible back seat driver and Sverre knew that I would be an absolute terror on a 4-wheeling trip:)


Slot canyon hike - was so beautiful - the kids loved hiking through the super skinny slots






Scottie, my little brother and his wife Mandy

Sarah and my brother Ryan - the camp planner:)

mick and kristen, my sister and her 3 week old baby Liesel





all the dirt-filled cousins

Looks like a super fun trip! Seeing all these awesome pics makes me miss Utah ever so much! I wish I could just hop in my car and be in Southern Utah in a few hours... unfortunately, it takes many hours in an airplane and at least one layover for me - bummer. You always take such fun family trips!

I'm so jealous of all your camping adventures. we're heading down to the Sand Dunes this weekend and would love any advice you have on camping there... Where primarily? What to bring? Beach toys?
Also, where do you camp in Canyonlands? Looks ideal for kiddos...
Sorry to pick you're brain.... But your too cool to not emulate.
