We decdied to take a different family vacation this year. We love to be outdoors and wanted to do some hiking so thought Southern Utah would be a great place to go. On our way to Zion Park we stopped at Cove Fort to have lunch and get a tour . It was worth the stop.
At Zions Canyon we stayed at a hotel just outside the park and took the shuttle to the park to hike the two days that we were there. The scenery was amazing and the hikning was great. Even Brenna did great (for the most part)
Brenna loves to pose for the camera
Parker being totally amazed by the view (haha--had to throw this one in just for fun..dont' know why he is making this face)
Parker's buddy the squirrel
Can you see the steam coming off my feet? The water felt sooo good!
The view from the the hotel hot tub. (yes we were really roughing it)
The cute couple at Bryce Canyon
We took a hike down into the canyon. Parker wasn't sure he liked the cliffs
Spectacular formations

Tired and happy...
...happy to have some uniterrupted family time. We had such a fun trip. Lots of laughing and talking. Lots of hiking and taking in the beautiful scenery. It was fun to eat out every night and not have to worry about making dinner. Since we were hiking most of the days we did try to take food with us for lunches and snacks. It worked out well. Kids are growing up so fast we may not have many more chances to do something like this. It was so worth it.

Those are awesome pictures! It looks and sounds like you guys had a great time. Nice job on the photos, Taylor. We are bummed that you guys didn't get to stay with us on the way home. Hope everyone is feeling better.
It was a long drive home and we were sad that we couldn't stop to visit. We did wave when we went past. No on else got sick. Thank goodness.
Oh my word! How fun!! Wish we could have joined you. I love making those family memories that will last! Oh and I LOVE your view from the hot tub! Jealous!
Fun...and that was a cute couple standing there! We need to add that to our list of places to visit.
Thanks for showing us all of you. I love the picture of you sitting in the narrows just resting. Garen, Mitch and Elaine hiked it. Clarissa and I just waded till they got back. Great way to help us all start summer. Thanks.
