Vacation #2...check

Last week we spent a couple days in Zions, it is so beautiful there and lucky for us it was pretty cool and even rained the last day we were there.

First of all we have to give a BIG thank you to MeriKay and Blair! It was so fun to visit with you guys and your family! We loved the yummy Thanksgiving dinner, listening to the memories, and laughing a ton! Thanks for letting us stay at your place the first night!

The second night we camped near Zions, it was so relaxing! We spent the evening playing in the creek, playing baseball and football and then reading books in the tent. It was just what we needed!!

Daddy and Corbin loved floating down the river...and yes we made sure the boys had life jackets.
Taylor didn't love the water as much so we hung out waiting to see Corbin and Daddy ride past. I did stick Levi's toes in the water, he threw his legs up so fast and then after a moment started kicking, splashing, and laughing!
You want to see our next little baseball player?? Watch the transition from hitting the ball to running to first base... he likes to run...

In Zions we really only did one big hike. It was up to the Emerald Pools. What a fun, beautiful hike. I loved the mist in the air and all the pine trees around, it was very memorable.

As you hike along you come to the lower pools, hike a little more to the middle pools, hike a litte more to see the upper pools. Here was the lower pools, it seemed so magical with all the mist from the little waterfall. These stairs were fun to climb!

The middle pools and looking out over Zions.

And finally, the upper pools. Yeah, there was a reward...sand!!

What a fun vacation, but like always, it's so good to be home!
