Day 2 - Big Rock Candy Mountain, Utah

Early this morning, we headed out to explore the area around the Big Rock Candy Mountain Resort.


Aidan brought along a scavenger hunt list - finding something alive (a bug and a lizard) and something red (an old train car) and a body of water, among others.  We found several things that weren't on the list, too - like a ropes course, a zip line, and a beautiful moth that felt nice and cozy on Ryder's shorts!

Dan taught the boys to skip rocks across the river.



We hiked up a big mountain!  The boys liked that much better than the flat, paved trail we started out on.


The scavenger hunt ended with us finding the playground and real rock candy!  The boys were pretty excited about that!



We enjoyed a siesta mid-day - which was especially nice since it was getting quite hot outside.  After a nice rest, we headed back to the playground!  The day ended with a hot meal at the cafe, showers for everyone, Super Friends DVD, and bedtime stories!

What a hard life this is, being on vacation!
