Goblin Valley

 We decided to take a short trip down to Goblin Valley with Spencer's old ward while he was growing up. His brother put together the whole trip and needed some help getting everything set up and it is always good to have a few more leaders to help with the kids. It was so pretty there and I've never seen anything else like it. The first picture is us in Wild Horse Canyon. This is where we stayed the night and took a hike the next day. It is a slot canyon that is formed by water running through when it rains. In some sections you barely have room to walk through. Such a cool place!
Spencer decided to try and scare some people as they walked by. Funny kid!
 Then it was off to the National Park to see the goblins! You can climb really high because of the way the rocks are formed. We even climbed through a small cave to get some places. Here is a picture from the top looking over the whole park.


The mud was so soft that Christina took off her shoes to put her feet in. This is better than going to a spa. haha. We had a really fun time with the youth and tried not to freeze our butts off at night. We also made a purchase just in time for the trip, a sweet air mattress that will last us a long time plus we can stop stealing Heidi and Brian's. We are for sure going to have to come back and see the goblins again!
