Wells Family Reunion

The first weekend in June we made our way down to Cannonville, right outside of Bryce Canyon National Park for the Wells Family Reunion campout. I was a bit nervous at first because it would be the first time camping on my own with Shelby (Scott had to work the first night) and her first time ever camping. On top of that, the first night was supposed to get as low as 38 degrees and Shelby had a nasty cough.


All I can say is thank goodness for family! Thanks to them, we camped in an RV the first night and a cabin the second night, instead of freezing our buns off in a tent. It was definately a life saver and made our first campout with Shelby a breeze (THANKS AGAIN)! The next morning we went on a family friendly hike with beautiful red rock as the back drop and a nice stream to cool off in.
Aunt Rebecca with us on the trail. Thanks Aunt Sarah for the backpack for Shelby!



















We also had a chance to drive through Bryce Canyon for the first time and snap some photos. The views were breathtaking! If you ever have a chance to visit that area, make sure you plan on going through Bryce Canyon. You won't regret it!



Scott and I were very grateful that we were able to go and spend time with everyone as it may be our last campout for a while :( Maybe when its our turn to plan it we'll do it in Canada, eh? ;)
Thanks so much Heidi for planning it and making it possible. We had a wonderful time!

And it wouldn't be a complete post without some more photos of my Shelby...
