March 18-20. Our first of many (I hope) was a trip to Goblin Valley and Capital Reef. We left late Friday night and drove to Hanksville to stay in a motel. The car had to be jump started right before we left, so i was a little worried. I didn't shut off the car until we got to Hanksville. Thankfully the car started and off we went to Goblin Valley 1/2 hr away the next day. We explored the goblins and had a lot of fun. It was breezy and slightly cold, but we did ok. By the end of the day, we were all sunburned. We wanted to drive around the campground and go exploring in other places, but the car needed a jump. That put a cramp in our plans.
We discovered Cameron had a hole in the bottom of his shoe and needed duck tape. The only place to buy anything was at a convenience store. I should have brought the duck tape on the counter at home. Tyler ripped his shorts climbing the goblins. thank goodness for the duck tape in the bag. (no pictures). What was even more funny was that at dinner two more people came in with duck tape on their butts. It was great!
On Sunday we drove through Capital Reef. The boys would not get out and hike, so we only stopped one place, and I was a little nervous to turn off the car... We drove to Richfield, got Cameron some shoes, and attended the Provo City Center Temple Dedication and came home. I intend to go back and hike some more. Camping at Goblin Valley would be so much more fun! Camping at Capital Reef would also be great!
March 26: The next weekend we attended our first rugby game at Uof U. My cousin Tavita plays on the team. Fish and Katie came, which was a surprise. Fish explained some of the rules to us. It was a cold day, as we woke up to snow in Nephi. I'm thinking we'll go watch another one-- maybe the BYU vs Utah
