Bryce canyon spring break 2025 with Brady and Christie's Family
March 29-31, 2025
We're in Bryce canyon for spring break! We drove down yesterday right after school got out (Last day of 3rd quarter).
The drive here went smoothly. We're staying at Ruby's inn and Brady and Christie's family are with us. We got two hotel rooms for our family. Last night after getting in at about 8 we went swimming and hot tubbing for about an hour. It was pretty crowded but we had fun. Our rooms are at the ponderosa lodge and our two rooms are next to Brady and Christies two rooms.
Day 2
Breakfast this morning was delightful! It's a buffet included with the room at the restaurant. Then we packed lunch and headed on our hike. We did Queens loop which was a little over 3 miles but honestly seemed like it went on and on. The second half was very uphill and it was quite cold. Even snowing but not much until we got in the car and then it snowed a ton. But it was breathtaking at every turn-so so beautiful! The kids had a few knee scraping falls which was a bummer but I think we all loved the hike. A little sketchy with the dropoffs too but again, still amazing. Would do it again for sure.
We came back and went swimming. This time we had the whole pool to ourselves! Then showered and relaxed before dinner. We ate dinner at Bryce canyon pines restaurant. It was decent and the kids surprisingly behaved so well 🙌.
After dinner we explored the gift shop and grocery store. They had a bunch of nativities which was so fun. We may go buy one Monday.... We also bought things for dinner for tomorrow which is Sunday
Day 3
Breakfast, went to church in Tropic Utah and it was fast Sunday so I loved hearing the testimonies, then we came back to the hotel to change before heading back to Bryce canyon. We started at inspiration point which was a mistake because it was SO BEAUTIFUL it made everything the rest of the day seem not as good 😊. We drove to rainbow point and then drive back stopping at all the lookouts. We did a few short hikes too.
When we got back we went to the gym/swimming. Then we had our dinner we'd bought yesterday which was different types of ramen.
We watched legally blonde via vidangel with popcorn and then Lincoln slept in the boys room with Parker, Spencer and Caden (Spencer's birthday is tomorrow and requested that) and Rachel slept with Brady's girls for fun.
Day 4
We hiked "mossy cave" after breakfast which was really fun. Then we headed home stopping in Fillmore to eat lunch and play at a park.
Also, it's Spencer's birthday!! We let Lincoln have a sleepover in the boys room last night and they toilet papered Spencer's bed big time lol. He didn't notice until he woke up. We'll do gifts when we get home and do a special breakfast, activity, dinner and dessert tomorrow.
