A trip to Dry Fork Canyon was on the docket for day 2 of our staycation. But, first, a stop in Vernal to get the oil changed and grab some grub. While Ryan took the truck for the oil change, B and I wandered around Wal-mart and grabbed some snacks. I also scored on finding some clearance summer dresses for B for next year! Love me a bargain. :)
Dry Fork Canyon was really pretty and I've never been up there before, so it made for a pretty drive and some fun hiking around. At the bottom of the canyon on the cliff face (as you see in the pic below), an American flag with the words "Pearl Harbor," "Remember the Maine" and a few other things have been painted about 100 feet up. I am still trying to find the significance of why it's painted there, but it's pretty cool. I did find an old picture online of men painting it, but not much other information.
As well, there's the McConkie Ranch up there with a trail that has a bunch of petroglyphs, but unfortunately, B was sleeping when we passed by there. That just means we will have to go back sometime.
She insisted on wearing boots today. Nothing else would do, so boots it was. :) At least they make for good mountain shoes.
It is so hard to hear her in the video, but she is introducing herself to the little tree. Saying something along the lines of, "My name is Briella. Can you say, B-B-Briella?" Too funny! I so wish that the audio was better.
Yep, going potty in the woods. :)
Pretending she's a dog crawling around.
Once we had made our way back down from Dry Fork it was dinnertime. We ordered pizza online, picked it up and headed to the park for food and playtime. Playing on the playground was especially fun because we had it all to ourselves!
Going down the slide all by herself for the first time! Up until now she has been a little afraid of slides. Ryan took the video in slow motion until the end.
Oh, and we had to change her clothes after the mountains because they were no longer wearable. Thankfully, I had purchased those clearance dresses. Ha ha! After putting one on her, I realized they probably won't fit her next summer after all, because this one already hits her at the knee. :/
