Zion

Hiking up the Narrows.
This is Mr. Nutters. Lily managed to pet him before we even knew what she was doing. She has no fear of any animals. Lily walked in the water for a little while. It didn't last.

On day two we hiked to the Emerald Pools and the Weeping Wall.
First we had to stop and see the horses.
Love my kiddos! I don't know what he is doing, but he sure looks cute.



Silliness at the Weeping Wall. After the Imagine Dragons concert we decided to take the kids, (minus Greta, she stayed with my mom, and we are so grateful to her for the help, ) south to Zion National Park.  
It was a perfect mini vacation, within a vacation.  It felt so good to be in Southern Utah again, and this time with our kids!  The last time we went to Zion,  Jackson was a baby and I was pregnant with Asher.  It has been a few years.  The kids loved the adventure of it all, they were amazed by the tall red cliffs, and just a little scared of hiking up so high.  They are still flatlanders having lived most of their lives in Pennsylvania.  We are working on that.  We were also all really excited to seen California Condors.  They are really rare, this was a huge highlight for Jackson.
