Over Labor Day my whole family decided to go on a camping trip! The Bakers lived in Denver and Thalman's in Richfeild and so Green River, UT was a great meeting place. Matt couldn't come because it was like a month before taking the LSAT and with school and work, etc. he was way too busy. He was the only one that couldn't make it in the family, but everyone missed Matt and kept telling me to tell Matt that they missed him, thanks guys! I missed him to;( but I still went even though I was pretty sick and had a lot of fun! Here is my riding companion Mollie and Tommy is over on the the other side. It was a lot of fun riding with the Mulcocks. It was so funny watching Tommy tease Mollie. He would grab something when she wasn't looking and he was a smart baby. I am sure Mollie has teased him so he was just trying to tease her back. So funny! Sorry Mulcock's I was so sick riding in the car down and back I was already nauseous because I was at my sickest and I had to eat lots of gluten and riding in a car made it worse. It was still fun...reading to Mollie, singing songs together and just talking together. What a cute family!
We camped at the BEST camping ground ever! They had the nicest shower rooms and we camped on a big grassy area right next to the green river. It wasn't too crowded, except for that huge group from India that had big parties at night with loud Indian music. Although we had a big group this camping spot was a perfect place for kids to run a round, bathrooms close, lots of tables, firepit, showers. This was way better than staying in a Hotel. I am serious I am not a huge camper.
The first day we headed to the John Wesley Powell Museum. He is famous for taking the first exploration boating trip down the green river and even down the big grand canyon!!Yes his group took a boat down the big grand canyon. John Wesley Powell only had one arm as well! Go Mr. Powell You Rock! These are the replicas of the boats they took.
They even had dinosaurs at the museum. This area of Utah is known for finding dinosaur bones so Cool!!
They even found this weird sea creature!
Abby, Hallie, Addie, and I by another wierd sea creature they found
We took a picture by a watermelon float because they are famous for their watermelons!
I did buy a watermelon before we left and it's just what you would think it would be.... DELICIOUS!!

I love Josh in this picture he knew to smile but not by us:).
We went to a gyser, cool huh? It didn't go off....it's not timed. Darn! but we walked on the water and saw all the mineral deposits and route it went. It was pretty cool because it was in the middle of no where.
We next hiked Goblin Valley. I have never been. It wasn't busy at all to! We had this canyon to ourselves.
All the little kids kept going in little nooks and cracks, it was so cute watching them explore and run free. It was fun for everyone!
This looks like a Troll from Lord of The Rings
This place gets a thumbs up from Mollie and Addie!
Look at these two love birds
Stormtrooper?
We also went to see the San Rafeal Bridge. It was built in 1920 and was the main highway for a while. It was a big deal when it was built. It was built in the middle of nowhere! It still swings a little bit.
So pretty!
We then headed to see Hyroglyphs and petroglyphs close up it was so cool learned about the indians in this region. We also saw a REAL Dinosaur track!!
This is Hannah playing with the rocks. She had wandered off and no one was with her so I found her. I love when she poses for the camera her mom has trained her well;)PLEASE DONT mind my baby talk. I haven't realized until now how weird it sounds. Maybe when you watch it mute it? ha ha. I don't really care.
The last day before we all went home we found a Ghost Town! It was so small and hidden we almost couldn't find it. It had a little tiny mine by it and a store house and a house that was pretty much it. We got to walk around to see the houses still mostly intact and some old cars. I stole these from Ang, because I didn't bring my camera this day. Darn! Above is outlaw Caleb! I have ALWAYS wanted to see an old Ghost Town and my wish had come true!
Happy vacationing!
