Here is Emilee standing in front of some of the lower petroglyphs.
We're off to do more exploring!
There were some tiny caves for the littler kids to play in.

Then we moved on to play on the siderails!
Aubree won!
Someone took this lovely picture of me looking on as everyone else climbed up the side of the mountain. There was a lot of loose rock and it was a little tricky!
Grandpa climbed up to get a better picture of some of the writings. He was way up there and scared us all.
Emilee is not much for heights and stayed fairly close to the bottom, especially when the rocks started moving beneath her feet.
Lynzee and Aubree climbed the highest. Here is their victory pose. Lance and Aimee stuck together below them.
Coming down was the trickiest!
Lance told Aimee he would help her down because he had more climbing skills and I think it was true. He was fast on that mountain!
They had balancing contests!
Aubree won!

When he got down he decided to dig instead of joining his sisters for a photo shoot on the rock.
We did get a family picture on the cement barricade. Getting all of us up there at the same time was the difficult part.
We were going to have a picnic at a spot Grandpa knew that was 15 minutes away on a dirt road. As you can see, our tires didn't make it. It wasn't a really bad dirt road, but soon into the drive I looked out the window to see rubber flapping around. Grandpa was leading the way in his jeep and didn't see us pull over. When we got out to check the damage we could hear air escaping and the front tire was rapidly deflating as well. Guess what? No spare tire! It's in Dwayne's shop in Clearfield.
Grandpa noticed we weren't following him and came back to our rescue.
He took Emilee, Lynzee, and Aubree (the photographer) back to Cedar City in his Jeep where he made arrangements for a tow truck to come back and pick us up.
They took us to Big O tires where Grandpa got us 4 beautiful, strong, new tires.
We ended the trip a day early and came back home on Sunday after going to church with Grandpa. We missed Grandma who went to Arizona to see Aunt Jan for her birthday. It was an interesting trip -- not quite as we planned, but memorable and fun.
