Zion National Park

Scott and I decided a while back to try and see a National Park each summer. This summer was beautiful Zions. We did all the research we could and thought it would be a great time to go. Unfortunately there was a heat wave and our coolest day was 110 degrees and it didn't cool off much at night. If I can ever convince him to go again we will go in March or October. Things were further complicated by the fact that we had a party of 15 people. We just couldn't seem to get moving until about 11 which is not really the best time to go hiking.



The kids wanted walking sticks and their sweet uncles helped them find some great ones.



This was pretty much her face the whole trip.

My mom loves Zion's. I think she had fun hiking it with the grandkids

My in-laws joined in on the fun.

Since we got a late start it was nap time for miss em.  She screamed for the first 10 min. in the pack and then fell asleep

This boy had so much fun.

Steven went with the boys hiking and loved it. 

My dad was the first on in the water and the last one out. I have to admit that it was so nice on such a hot day.

We stopped in Kolob on our way home.  It was beautiful.
