View from Richfield KOA
We upgraded our spot to one with a patio and fire pit
My work view everyday! Weather was amazing!
Science experiment with the Duffy kids

Presley was so amazing with Grace - she let her do her hair and entertained her all week
Chilling in the Duffy RV
Across from the campground was a soccer field
We used it several times
One night we had both families out running the field
The Duffys are big soccer fans and pretty much kicked our butts!
First adult night out without kids in months!
Pedicure time
Michelle, Presley, Grace and I thoroughly enjoyed our girl time
We went on a major adventure on the weekend and took both trucks into the northern part of Capitol Reef National Park. We drove on 12 miles of unimproved roads to get down into the canyon. We did a short hike to see the cathedrals
Trucks parked in the canyon

Cathedral walls surround this canyon
Every direction and every turn is a new view
The trail

We can no longer see the trucks
The trail
They look like church cathedrals made of sand
Such an amazing hike
Looked like enormous sand castles

Yum! S’mores!
The last weekend in Richfield we explored this state park
Our archaeologist
Examining stuff in the kids lab area of the visitor center
We hiked a little around the park - this view shows where the mountains were blasted through in the 1980s for a new highway - this is when most of the Native American ruins were found
They were teaching how to throw atlatls at the state park
We got to go on a hunt around the park to try to hit various animals with the atlatls
Jason giving it a try - much harder than it looks
The park
❤️
Exploring the underground hut
So much cooler inside than up top!
Grain storage
Many petroglyphs
More petroglyphs
And more
And more! This was a fun place to explore until we ventured down a path and ran into a rattlesnake!
Kids found a skatepark in Richfield
Team work!
Some times they ride and sometimes they run
Grace getting used to the ramps
He’s getting braver going off jumps
One of our final adventures in this area was going mountain biking
This was Grace’s first time
It took some patience (on my part) but she did pretty good even though she had to push her bike sometimes
Pretty proud of her abilities and giving this a try!
