Zion's National Park

To help the National Parks celebrate their "National Park Week" we decided to go to Zion's National Park.  It was a fabulous trip that we were able to share with Grandma & Grandpa along with Aunt Jennie, Uncle Dallas, Ethan, Rory, Emma & Olivia.  There were only 2 bummers: Chris wasn't there on account of the Baker to Vegas Relay that he got thrown into last minute & we were missing the Tierney Family & Uncle Patrick.

I took so many pictures!  I bet I only posted about half.  So enjoy them!








 (This is the only photographic evidence that I have to prove I was even there!)











 (Seriously Jen, do you teach your kids to do perfect school picture poses?)








 The funny thing about squirrels: they are actually quite dangerous.  There were constant warnings about not feeding them & just leaving them alone.  The quote on that poster says, "The squirrel bit me twice in less than a second. It took 16 stitches."  Thanks to this add in their paper, that Christianna insisted on carrying, she was terrified of every one we saw!  Apparently this was all fascinating...that is her reflection in the glass.

 Phew!  It was a good thing those kids were there to hold that huge rock up for the rest of us to pass under.
