Zions National Park

On our last full day in St. George we decided to go to Zions. Image Our first hike was to the emerald pools. We only made it to the first pool because we had strollers. It was really neat to see the waterfalls and being able to walk underneath them.

Image



Image Next we took the shuttle to the riverside walk.


Image This walk had the prettiest scenery. I could walk there everyday...seriously!


Image



Image Logan at the beginning of the narrows...which someday I hope to hike!

Image I loved how the rocks had the prettiest flowers growing on them!


Image


Image Good bye Zions...


Image It was a super fun, memorable and much needed vacation!

Snow Canyon

On Sunday it was a little cooler so we decided to go over to Snow Canyon.Image The kids loved playing in the red sand.

Image We hiked up a sand riverbed up to the three ponds. They weren't very big but they were a happy sight after walking in miles of sand.

Image


Image This was my favorite view of the top two.


Image
A found this pretty cactus in bloom on the other side of the ponds.


Image
Up from the three ponds was another water hole.

Image
On the way back it started to sprinkle a tiny bit, which was nice because it cooled us off. And the way back was lots faster than the way up!

Image Isn't that sand so pretty!!!

Red rocks of St. George

The red rocks north of St. George was my favorite place and you'll be able to tell by how many pictures I took!Image Fun shadow pictures

Image
The view from the top of the Dixie rock was so pretty. The temple is so beautiful...

Image

Image Logan was hard to keep up with he kept climbing rocks everywhere. He was loving it.

Image
Carter was in heaven!


Image Brylee loved posing by pretty rocks.


Image Boston was quite the climber too!



Image


Image We love St. George! I made Ben promise me that he would consider buying us a winter home someday down there!!!


St. George swimming

We went to St. George over memorial weekend with my sister's family, Ben's parents and his sister's family. Thank goodness because it was a rainy mess at home so it was a good call on that one. We LOVED the pool at our hotel, it went indoor and outdoor and the hot tub was warm and lovely!Image
