Zions National Park

 On Monday we went to Zions National Park.  With the government shutdown going on right now, our Governor struck a deal to pay the US Government a crazy amount of money to keep our parks open.  We were glad we ended up being able to go!  It was such a gorgeous day.  The skies were clear, and it was about 60 degrees.  GORGEOUS.  
 The kids on the bus.  
 They loved how tame the squirrels were.  They even let you touch them.  
 We took 3 hikes.  We did the first part of the Narrows hike first.  
 Charity and Sam were slow and Charity was sick, so Steve and I had to carry them on the hikes on our shoulders.  Which gave us a good workout.  

 The 2nd hike we did was Weeping Rock.



 The last hike we did was Emerald Pools.
 We wished we had had more time there, but we had to head home that day.  

But we were so glad we went.  It was pretty great.  The only problems were poor Charity being sick, and I had run a couple of miles earlier that morning, and then with all the hiking and a baby on my shoulders, my knee was not too happy with me.  But all in all, it was a fantastic vacation!
