little vaction- day 4 and 5...

on thursday we went and checked out Zions National Park...
We ended up seeing most of what there was to see we took a few short hikes until the paths closed due to ice. It was a little on the chilly side but it was blue skies and sunshine and BEAUTIFUL!!!
We drove to the end of the road and took the Temple of Sinawava hike - or the Riverside walk.
We played by the water for a little bit and checked out the grandeur of God's creations.
This is looking straight up the side of the cliff...I LOVE this pic!
our family on the trail...the kids did AWESOME...PG walked the whole time with NO complaining. (we did 2, 1-ish mile hikes .5miles each way...) PD walked 3/4 of the 1st hike and notice the skirt..she got cold and tired..she liked the stroller for the second hike.
water and sticks, what more can a kid ask for?
Grandma and Papa came down to stay with us, and the kids LOVED having them! We all did. :o)
Climbing on the rocks right before we went back to the car for lunch.
This is when we "hied to Kolob" this is how we ended our day but hey, this is where the pic put itself. so enjoy! :o)
This was the second hike, we hiked the lower emerald pool and waterfall trail. It was really pretty, just like this little girl!
this was the tiny bit of the emerald pool that wasn't frozen, it made a pretty reflection. I bet it would be prettier in the summer or Spring!
there's my boys! sitting on a holey wall. I love this pic!!
here is me and PR at the red holey wall.
G-ma and Papa on the bridge with sleeping PD in the stroller.
and here is PG after he climbed through a drain pipe. He seems to be growing up so much, and I can't keep up! :o)
Friday we drove home with a little stop in Provo to see the Carl Bloch exhibit at the BYU Museum of Art. It was nice to have a little vacation and it was nice to come home! :o)
