Zion's Trip 2012

This really is a picture overload!  I pretty much use my blog as a scrapbook so these photos are necessary to post!  We had such a great time in Zion's this year.  The kids love to swim, hike, relax, and just be together with family.


Overlooking Zion Park....

Gramps just about went over the overlook.....

Griff was a big hiker....


Me and Griff ...

Cousins!  Best kids ever!

Alex and Griff -- This pool is just the best....

Maia, Maddie, and Griff....

More cousin shots....

Their true colors....

We loved the challenge of hiking the Narrows.  Lane was a tropper...

Alex is the Man!

While hiking the Narrows, it started to rain a bit.  It actually got kind of chilly.  The kids had to huddle to stay warm...


Kristeen, Alex, and myself....


Andy and Alex.  I just couldn't quit taking pictures of the beautiful water and red cliffs that we were hiking through....







It was raining pretty hard at this point.  We decided to head back before a flash flood carried us away!


I have to give a shout out to my Dad and Aunt Joyce who tended Griffin while we hiked the Narrows.  They took great care of my Griff --- swam with him, took a nap together, bought him lunch, and even changed him from a swimmer diaper to a regular diaper!  (my dad has never changed a diaper --- ever!)  Thanks dad!

Hidden Canyon Hike....


Andy, Kristeen, and I got up early the next morning and discovered one of our most favorite hikes in Zion...



You just have to experience it to believe it!  Incredible views came along with the incredible hike across shear cliffs and then up into a "hidden canyon."  So beautiful and peaceful.  








The End!

I would've paid good money to watch your dad and Joyce changing Griff! Hahahaha. Next year we need to make sure we are there at the same time.
