Day Trip to Zion


Jon has been working very hard trying to finish his schooling, so on Saturday we decided to take a quick trip to Zion National Park. We ate breakfast and packed a picnic lunch and head out on our day adventure. The weather was great. We are really enjoying this nice southern weather down here. My boys are still wearing shorts and short sleeves to school most days, but due to the location of Zion we busted out long sleeves. We drove for about 45 minutes and voila we were there.

Nathan did pretty well. He walked a good portion but then got tired so Jon carried him on his shoulders for a while, then it was my turn. Nothing like hiking with an extra 40 lbs on your shoulders.

 Kyler is pointing out the mama deer and her baby... they are a little hard to see. And for those of you that notice, Ky's eye is still black but looking tons better.

 Here's our whole family under the waterfall at the Emerald Pool hike

After we hiked we rode the shuttle back to the truck and had our picnic lunch. We drove back and still had time for Jon to write one more paper for his marketing class before dropping the boys off with Grandma and Grandpa so we could go on a date.
