Fall break trip to Utah

We spent our fall break in Utah. We always have a lot of fun there, and it seems like there's an endless list of new places to explore.  This trip, we went climbing at Mill Creek which was gorgeous with lots of fall leaves. We also attempted a slot canyon (we didn't end up doing the slot part, but did get to go tubing), hiked through Fisher Towers and Goblin Valley (the kids' favorite spot for hide and seek) and found great apple picking on our way home near Palisade.


We planned to take the kids down a slot canyon. It was colder and wetter and more technical than we thought, so we just make it part way to this little pond and the kids floated.

The kids love playing hide and seek in Goblin Valley.  After it took me 20 minutes to find Ama, I'm not sure this was the best idea.  I thought I'd lost her forever in the desert.

Apple picking near Palisade.  We found a great, uncrowded, in expensive little farm.  Apple picking near Denver needs to be reserved months ahead of time, so it was nice to find this spot.
