It is a tradition to go to Jacob Lake camping for Labor Day weekend. We have all enjoyed traveling the old logging roads to the rim by snowmobile and by four wheeler. It is great to escape the heat of St. George and find the peace of the Kaibab forest. 
The wind really wanted to take off with my hat. Not only did I not want to lose the hat, but my hair was looking really good about then!!!
Kent always sleeps in the back of the truck- out under the stars. I prefer the tent (but I could still hear him snore- nice homey touch!)
The sheik of the Kaibab.
The Patriarch and Matriarch of the whole frenzied family!
Dad making my favorite meal- Dutch Oven Potatoes!! Love his sausage, bacon and onion in it!
Bob's specialty- Beer Can chicken- or Sprite, etc.....
Nicole standing in the "parking lot"!
Seth made himself a great bow and arrow.
We have climbed the fire tower many times, but this time, there was a park ranger employee who let us in the top booth and Kent loved looking at his weather instruments and maps. It was very interesting.
Mattix wading through the wildflowers.
Nicole trying to get pictures of butterflies.
Chloe on the rim- pretty precarious perch!
Mattix traveled all the way there on the fourwheeler and then refused to look down!
Evidently, I dress like an outhouse!
Dad didn't know we were taking his picture. He really does take time to stop and smell the flowers! We had many stops to enjoy the beauty.
View from the fire tower- after seeing such long stretches of red sand on a daily basis, it blows your mind to see nothing but forest as far as you can see.
Looking up the 120 foot tower. The wind was also blowing 50miles an hour so it was an even more perilous climb than usual.
Just like in the car, the four wheelers rock the kids to sleep.
We took a short cut through the "Enchanted Forest" where the pine trees in this area are covered with moss- very eerie looking.
Don't you love how clean my glasses are- unfortunately that same dust exists on my teeth, hair and skin!!
Those goggles are stylin!
Making breakfast!
Chloe has a fourwheeler just her size
Home Sweet Home
We took Adam's truck out there for it is more comfortable with the double cab and still fits all of our camping crap.
Hannah LOVED her horned toad
He is a handsome devil
Nicole got some good shots of the wildflowers that were beautiful.
