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!

A few pics of the GRAND CANYON.....

So...we just spent our first night at the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Can I say COLD night??? The high today is 64 degrees and we're looking at another cold night here tonight. We are all taking it easy today...michael's catching up on homework, Scott is taking a hike, Steph, the girls, and I are doing laundry and trying to keep these girls from tearing down the gift shop right now! ha! We are SO GLAD not to have to pack up and leave today!
I walked down to the rim this morning around 6 am to watch the sun rise...AMAZING! It really is a beautiful place, and this time around I'm actually enjoying the desert so much more! We leave tomorrow heading north to Zion National Park in Utah, then Pacific Northwest HERE WE COME!!!! Thanks for all your prayers! They are still much needed! We love ya'll!!!!!

The Hathorn's and Trest's are Travelin' West!

So...this is where you can keep up with us over the next few weeks to see our trip progress. We leave early in the morning and are spending the day packing and getting the last minute stuff done. Please pray for us as we begin our journey. We are so excited!!!
