Zion, dear Zion

Having lived in Rexburg for over 4 years and never making it to Yellowstone while we lived there is just pathetic, but it took us moving to St. George to end up making a trip back up there to Yellowstone for a family reunion. I was not about to let that happen to us again. So, we ended up taking a little trip to Zions (which is basically in our backyard), after living here for almost 4 years. Our new goal is to make it to more of the fun areas around us.
The girls thought it was the greatest thing to sleep in a hotel (because they never have), but they were so excited we couldn't even get them to settled down to sleep. After our exciting night in the hotel we spent the next day hiking in Zions, even little Shay with her short legs. The sleepless night before started to show later in the day, but the girls loved it.


These girls will find anything to climb. Along the emerald pool trail there was this small break off that looked like a climbing wall and Emma just had to try climbing it.

Apparently it's exhausting being carried around all day.

Right at the end of the day these two decided they were best friends which usually isn't the case if Emma's around. They held hands and had to sit by each other. It was sad when Shay wouldn't let Emma sit by her because Kiana was, but it was sweet to see these two bond.

Looks like fun. It's a great time of year for us hot climate people, isn't it. :) Actually, I'm still waiting for it to cool down a little more but relief is in sight.

Sounds fun. When I read the title, I thought you guys had been traveling out here to our neck of the woods.

Todd, I wish we had been out your way. I've always wanted to visit out that way, maybe even live out that way. I think I might miss the mountains too much though
