Spring in Utah means cold weather, rain, snow, warmer weather, and then everything all over again. Spring break means . . . it doesn't really matter what the weather is, we're getting out of town and going on a vacation! This year we decided to head to one of our favorite spots in Southern Utah - Capitol Reef National Park. It's very quiet there especially this time of year. It's beautiful and doesn't seem to draw the huge crowds of some of the other local hot spots. We had lots and lots and lots of wind every day and some cold weather towards the end of our stay, but it was sunny and great for a few days of hiking and fun.
Here we are on a hike to the Goosenecks. This was a great little spot out of the wind and blowing sand (mostly). 
This little spot was not out of the wind. Mommy thought we might actually get blown off the rocks. But isn't that blue blue sky worth it!
And here we are out on Sunset Point. Ah . . . beautiful!
This is me exploring a hole in the rocks. It's a good thing I'm small.
Here are mom and Sam heading back towards the car. 
Does it look like I'm having a good vacation?
We hiked to both the top and the bottom of Fremont Falls. The water was incredibly muddy that day. 
And two little boys you know had a great time throwing rocks into the water. We threw and threw and threw until there were no stones left on that entire side of the river!
Daddy found this pussy-willow blossom on the shore. We've never seen one of these before - beautiful isn't it!
Daddy and I found these cool rocks up behind an old cabin. Looks like swiss cheese, huh! Does that make me the mouse?
And here we are on one of the walkways out to see some petroglyphs. 
Our last day was really cold so we spent more time inside the hotel that day. We watched movies and went swimming.
And we had a midnight snack of spaghetti. 
And finally a picture of the boys below the Castle. Capitol Reef was a great place for a much needed vacation!
