Zions with Grandpa and Grandma

We woke up Sunday morning and realized it was a rare day in that we all had the day off.

You really can't waste a day like that sitting around the house. Along with Grandpa and Grandma we headed down to Zions National Park. Which just happens to be one of my favorite places, its breath taking any time of year.

We started out on one of our favorite hikes. Its just perfect in the summer because it follows a river and is lush and shady.

Maybe not the best combo for winter hiking.

Lots of snow...... icy trails

But stunning scenery

This is about the point we decided to turn around.

Dewey was skating with Kolby on his back, while Grandma carefully walked back.

Because Zions is such a large Park it includes all kinds of terrain. We didn't have to drive far to be out of the snow.
Luke and Kolby spent 90% of the time running on this trail.

We found some rocks and very cool trees that made a little cave. The boys had a blast exploring them looking for trolls and fairy's.

Truth be told they had the most fun climbing the rocks. Kolby is FEARLESS he climbed right behind Luke. Its not a huge rock but it is pretty steep. The shadows you see are Dewey and I waiting to catch them when/if they fell. They never did the little mountain goats.

King's of the rock!!!


To end a perfect day we had a wonderful late lunch in Springdale (thanks Grandma and Grandpa)

Four of us took a nap on the drive home, I'm not naming names. But I can't be blamed if my belly is full and the sun is shining on my face and Luke is fast asleep beside me :)
