Zion National Park!

Well, we made it to Zion today (Utah). It was a lot different than we expected here. Still much like Arizona but MUCH WARMER!!! We were thrilled to be able to wear shorts without freezing! We arrived here around 2:30ish and set up camp quickly (we're getting to be pros at this!) The most awesome thing is there is a river running right through our camp...so after setting everything up, we got on our suits and headed down there. It is BEAUTIFUL!!! Everyone cooled off and the girls absolutely LOVED it!!! I cleaned my feet with a rock because they were SO dirty!! It was a natural pedicure! haha...
Michael and Scott are planning a hike to Angels Landing(5 miles with a three foot wide path that drops 1200 feet on bot sides) in the morning, so please pray for them! (pretty steep hike!) then we will all go for some shorter hkes tomorrow afternoon! Like Steph said...we are looking forward to spending a night in a hotel on Wednesday night! It will be great to get in a bath tub!!! We will post pictures soon!
We are missing everyone terribly! Thanks for the prayers and posting comments--it keeps us going!!! Love you all!

  1. Y'all continue to make us jealous! Erin and I actually went to Bass Pro Shop today to look at kayaks and tents, as we plan on doing some camping this summer...y'all are really stirring up an adventurous side in a some of us that we were not aware of! Thank you!

    On a side note, make sure you call Grandma to check on her and tell her of your travels. She is still in the hospital...her number is 601-968-5751.

    Love all of you!

  2. It sounds so beautiful there. I can't wait to hear about "the hike." Have a wonderful day exploring! We're all fine here. We miss you but we're so thankful that y'all have this chance to be together and experience this trip.
