Squiggles’ first camping trip! (March 2011, 12.5 months)

After we took a road trip from Denver to Logan, we took another road trip to Southern Utah – specifically to Zion’s National Park.  We brought Squiggles’ favorite tractor / farm animal toy to play with in Grandpa and Grandma’s brand-new camping trailer.

The next day, we hiked most of Angel’s Landing.  Squiggles loved it… especially all the red sand everywhere.

Grandma let us sleep on her nice big bed in the trailer while she slept on one of the kids’ beds in the main cabin.  Grandma is nice like that.

The next day we went hiking again – it was a bit cool that day, so we bundled up.  Squiggles loved hiking with Daddy.

She also enjoyed our mile-high picnic.

She helped Grandpa outside.  Yes, I let her crawl around in the red dirt… it all came out, but she was one filthy baby for a few days!  She loved every second of it.

We went on a short hike with stunning views from dizzying heights.  Grandpa wanted a turn carrying the baby.

Mommy kept telling Grandpa, “Get my baby away from that ledge, Silly Grandpa!”

But Grandpa just laughed at Mommy because there was a strong fence.

Miss Squiggles loved stealing Grandpa’s hat and putting it on her head.  It was a little big!

She had fun telling stories and jokes with Grandma.  Silly Grandma.

We had a great time with family in the wilderness, and Miss Squiggles got mad every time we made her go inside.  She loves the outdoors!
