Bryce Canyon

Day 19 - Wednesday

Everyone woke up very feisty today.  The girls are not interested in hiking anymore, yet Jason is ready to explore.  It would seem we are a team divided.  We’ve finally motivated and moved the RV into a lovely spot inside the park at the North Campground.  It is quiet, pretty, and close to the Visitor Center.   You know what that means, Jr. Ranger packets!!

Everyone seems happier now, so we’ve decided to hike the Navajo Loop.  The girls have discovered that if you do certain hikes, and get your picture taken with medallions for the “Hike the Hoodoos” challenge, you’ll earn a small prize. 

The idea of a prize has motivated them to go for one more small hike, so we also explored Queen’s Garden.  It is so impressive here.  I’m so glad we have a new camp spot, that our attitudes improved, and that we didn’t miss the magic here.

While Jason was jogging the Fairland Loop (8 miles and 2000 feet elevation gain) I started dinner.  While re-igniting the BBQ, I had an issue.  I’ve burnt both sides of my hair, so now it’s uneven and frizzy.  Alice seems to think people will notice, but I told her not to tell daddy, as a test.  He didn’t notice. (This is after I trimmed out the burned clumps with some IKEA kitchen scissors.)
