Today we had breakfast pastries from a nearby bakery. We loved eating in our tiny home!
Lily was feeling really sick, but she rallied so that we could go to Kodachrome Basin, a state park that we have been wanting to see for a long time.
The kids had fun in the swing seats and on the rock climbing wall at the visitors center.
When we embarked on our hike, all the kids were very excited about their water backpacks that Georgia gave them for Christmas. Our hike was the Panorama trail and it was about three miles. Below are some pictures and videos from our adventure.
Happy with Nana’s water packs

In the distance is Mammoth Spire 
Lily barely made it, as did Clarissa, so it’s really good we didn’t do the 6 mile Calf Creek trail I originally proposed. The trail was beautiful and it was really good to see Kodachrome Basil. We then drove to Boulder, UT (30 minutes North of Escalante), and visited Long Canyon. The name is really funny because it is the shortest canyon I’ve ever been in. You walk 100 yards and you are at the end. It is very beautiful though.
Below is Clarissa making cinnamon rolls (probably inspired by the cinnamon roll she had for breakfast).
Then the kids and I did some bouldering. We had such a good time and it was the kids’ favorite part of the day.
We then went to Hell’s Backbone Grill and ordered dinner to go. Lily was inspired by their cookbook and bought a copy. They have an incredible story building up this restaurant in such a rural place, but they did it and now they’ve gotten acclaim, and for good reason. The food was delicious!
Driving home, we saw one of the most incredible sunsets we’ve ever seen. The pictures don’t quite do it justice, but it does give an idea of the vastness and richness of the orange glow we presenced.
At home Mary and Ammon played Chess, and then the adults played wingspan. We completely fell in love with our tiny home and we loved every second we spent in it.
