Spring Break!

We went to Zion for a day during Spring Break this year. As always, it is such a beautiful and breath taking place, with something for everyone.

We started our visit with a picnic, which always makes it feel like spring time to me.

Last time we went, we did the Emerald Pools Hike. This year, we tried out the Weeping Rock Hike. It's very short, but was just right for the little kids to be able to hike for a few minutes and have a neat little reward at the end of the hike. At the top of this hike, there is a rock overhang that looks like it is weeping because water drips down the rock and falls down. It was fun for us to stand under the overhang and be rained on for a second.

At the bottom of the hike there is a little stream, and some little boys had found a frog and showed our girls how it could jump.

Mckinley loves to hike, and after the weeping rock hike, she wanted to hike some more. We thought she might lose interest while we drove through the tunnels.(We had the other babies with us, so we didn't want to commit to a huge hike.) However, she insisted on another hike before we left the park, so we stopped and did part of the river walk. I still don't think Mckinley got her fill, so we are already planning some more hikes for the summer with her. What a fun escape.
