Fish Lake

After our vacation was over and we got settled in back home, Mom took me for a walk at a park we hadn't been to since the early spring, Fish Lake. Mom didn't take many pictures while we were there, but we did get to see a few butterflies.

Scenery and a Party

On our last full day at the cabin in Utah, Dad went for a bike ride with a few other family members. They started from the top of a mountain called Brian Head. Mom dropped all of them off, then drove down to the pick-up point to wait.

While waiting, she stopped at a lava field for a few pictures.

I stayed back at the cabin and played with my cousins. After Mom and Dad got back, Mom took the camera and walked around the area near the cabin to take some more pictures.

She found some very pretty wild flowers...

...including Indian Paintbrush...

...and a wild rose.

Back at the cabin, Mom took a few more pictures of my cousins.

Then everyone took a family picture.

We ended the night with a pinata party. I wasn't quite sure what to do when Mom brought me up to it, so she tried to show me that I needed to hit it.

Then the rest of my cousins each took turns trying to break it apart.

I was SO excited to watch the festivities.

Every time the other kids hit the pinata, I found it hilarious.

It was a great way to end our trip.

Hike to a Waterfall and Cedar Breaks National Monument

We spent a morning hiking to a waterfall, then Mom and Dad took me to see Cedar Breaks National Monument.

Mom got the opportunity to test out a soft back carrier. I wasn't happy about being in it at first, but I warmed up to it after a few minutes.

The carrier definitely made it easier for Mom to hike along the trail since she didn't have to worry about me running off the edge.

We had a nice view of Zion National Park from the trail.

We were a little slow getting to the waterfall, so the rest of the family we hiked with left before we were ready to. We weren't far behind, though.

We just took a couple extra minutes for portraits.

Although, I had to ask Dad to stop taking pictures for a moment while I answered my pretend cell phone.

Later in the day we visited Cedar Breaks. It's a very pretty park.
