Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Monday was Daddy's birthday, so we hit the road. We drove up to Utah to go to Bryce Canyon National Park...

In the morning, we woke up to a surprise (the temperature gauge reads 28 degrees - weather.com said it would be 50)...SNOW...

The news made it a little tougher for Daddy and Alexis to get out of bed.

But, eventually, they did, and Alexis had her first encounter with snow...

What a view!

The plan, hiking in the canyon...

Daddy too.

The ultimate Christmas tree.

Natural Bridge

Hiking didn't last long, since we weren't equipped for below freezing weather, so we drove the rest of the way.

Hoodoo? You do!

Pretty high up!

Watch out...

While we didn't see any bears, we did come very close to these deer...

Alexis was quite pleased when we returned to the hotel...

Warming up by the fire.

We ate before we left.

And then hit the road again...
