The Wave

Over Memorial Day weekend we headed south to areas between Kanab, Utah and Page, AZ. There is an amazing hike there, the Wave, and we were excited to try for a chance to get permits to hike it. Well after two days of trying, our little bingo ball with our number on it got picked! We couldn't believe it, especially on such a busy weekend.
We enjoyed a lot of other things while down there. We drove through flooded roads in Page on Friday and watched sand and dirt slide onto the roads, blocking them. The rain didn't hinder our fun though, we took a tour of Glen Canyon Dam and watched waterfalls pour over the canyon from the rain! We also visited Antelope Canyon which was also picturesque.
Thanks Dad for planning such a fabulous trip. I will so miss these times when we move.

We backpacked Buckskin Gulch a couple of years ago and since then have wanted to go back to that area and hike the Wave. Those are awesome pictures. It is such an amazing area.

Oh my heck! What beautiful pictures. I have lived in Utah my whole life and never been to any of those areas down South. Pathetic i know. Those kind of trips are the best. We miss you and Caroline as well, but we understand you are so so busy getting everything ready for the big move. We will get together soon:)

I love the wave hike! One of the few things I miss about Utah is all our red rock hikes. BTW congrats on baby #2 and best of luck.
