Memorial Weekend

We just got back from a really fun trip to Zion National Park with my mom and Ken and our family. We started our weekend on Friday by going out to Sand Hollow to fish for the evening. Then on Saturday we drove out to Zion. Lainee and the boys came out too! We went on a hike to the Emerald Pools with all of us. After we got to the first pool and realized there wasn't really a pool but rather a couple of little puddles. We decided to go to the second pool hoping it would be a pool, but it was just water running over some rocks. :) By the time we got to the second pool, stopped and had some snacks, all three of my kids fell in the water and got wet, we decided to not go to the third pool... (which was a mistake since the 3rd pool is the best one).

The next day we went up to the top of the canyon and did the Riverside Walk. It was beautiful and the kids had such a fun time. The squirrels were everywhere and they were friendly... :) The kids had so much fun! Afterward, we ate lunch at the Zion Lodge then came back to our lodge to swim.  Garrett and Aubrey came up to swim and go out to dinner with us too! That was fun.

It was such a fun weekend! We are already making plans to go back and do some more hiking! :)

BTW: I started a new blog designed around scrapbook pages and I'm going to try and keep up to date with it. I spend a lot of time updating my blog when I should be scrapbooking so I started this new blog that will let me do both. :) Don't be surprised if it gets updated more than this one.... but we'll see! :) It has no sidebar or widgets... just scrapbook pages.
