President's Day at Zions

Treyson is "bear hunting". Glad he was there to keep us safe!
Emerald pools hike. It was chilly in the mornings, perfect in the afternoons and chilly in the evenings. Worked out quite nicely!

Here is a family picture - it just might be our Christmas card this year - if we end up sending Christmas cards this year. :) (The walking sticks are hand carved from AF Canyon)

This is "Walter's Wiggles" that you have to climb up to get to Angel's Landing. TJay & the girls braved it - as well as slid down it. They did awesome!

Below you'll see our intrepid explorer with his handy binoculars! Trey loves those things.

School is out for a holiday and TJay has the day off too . . . what to do? Go to a national park! We had the best time! We rented a mini-suite 2 miles from the entrance to the park (off season = great rates!). We explored in the car, hiked, read, ate, played! We had the greatest time! Trey did quite a good job hiking around. When TJay & the girls went on the long hike - to Angel's Landing, Trey & I hiked about half way, and then we stopped along the trail. He played Nintendo DS & I read Goose Girl to him. :) People on the hike giggled at that site.

Another favorite hike was to Emerald Pools. There are 3 total and we hiked to 2. They are beautiful! On the lower one you walk underneath a waterfall, which was pretty neat. We also saw the weeping wall. It is amazing to see the water coming off of the rock and it looks like it is raining!

Starting to plan spring break . . . we LOVE family vacations.
