We just came back from our St. George and Zion camping trip. I took ninety-five pictures, so I will try to whittle them down (somewhat) and just post the highlights here:
Our neighbors left us some chocolate covered strawberries on our back porch right before we left on our trip. Here’s Mary chowing down at a gas station en route. (Lydia just finished hers — with evident satisfaction.)We borrowed Lydia’s friend, Cole, for the afternoon and evening. The first thing we did was go to Abe’s cousin’s soccer game.Charlie won his game! Posing with the victor.Then we went back to our campground to set up tent. The kids shared a bag of chips, ran around, and even helped a bit.Sharing chips.Running around
Wanting to help.It looked a little wonky because we didn’t set up the vestibule properly. But it was huge! This is the first time we’ve used it, and we fit a queen sized air mattress AND a twin air mattress (I have a bad back) in there with plenty of room to spare.We bundled.And hugged.Happy and warm.
The next morning, eating granola bars and fruit.
After breaking camp and attending Sacrament meeting, we went to Zion National Park.
Entering Zion National Park. The pictures do not do it justice at all. The majesty, splendor, and vast scale of the rock formations just took our breaths away.
Abe wears an adventure hat, and so Lydia does too. Here she is before hike #1 with a pine cone and leaf.Abe in his adventure hat. I have so many versions of this picture, and they are all so cute.
Lydia and Daddy are so far ahead!Deciding to catch up.Caught up.Wanting Daddy to hold her hand.Success.
Hand holding.Oops! I’m supposed to be taking pictures of the scenery!!
Hike #2 (Weeping Rock).Under the weeping rock.Enjoying the view.Hike #3: The Lower Emerald Pool.Made it.On our return trip.This is what’s behind where we’re crouching in the last shot. The kind man who took our picture focused on the people instead of the view (hey! That sounds like someone I know!).
