Zion's (2010)

Last summer we went with my family to Zion's National Park. We camped, hiked, swam, and played. So HOT, but a lot of fun. here are some of the pics. enjoy!

 This is the entrance to our campground. You can't ask for a better setting with these gorgeous red cliffs surrounding you.

 Little Ez and Grandpa. So sweet.

 My youngest brother, Quinn. "Hey Quinn. Whatcha got there in your belt?" Notice the huge burn on his arm. Every time I see him he has some sort of major flesh wound or injury. Boys will be boys.

 The air was hot, but this water was FREEEZING! Spring runoff from the melted snow.

 Everyone jumped right in, except for me. I had a good excuse though--holding the baby and the camera.

 This is the exact moment I always dread when jumping into freezing cold water. It's the initial shock that gets me.

 I'm a big wimp and had to tip toe into the water until the current dragged me away.

 Gotta love flowers.

 We hiked to the top of Angel's Landing. Here's a view from up above.

 A little friend that came to share our lunch.

 Our little family at the top. And yes, I climbed all the way up with a heavy, sweaty baby strapped to my chest. So HOT!

 Here's the whole gang.

 My sis, Kendra, and her hubby, Adam.

 My parents.

 Awe, my little family. Looking a little haggard.

 On the way down.

 This a was a cool spot, literally. The wind funneled along the rock wall and about blew us over.

 All the switchbacks we had to climb up. And remember, big baby strapped to me. Whew, that was a tough hike.

You can find pretty flowers even in the desert.
