Zions Vacation

Jared's brother and sister-in-law gave us a two night stay at a hotel on the East end of Zion's National Park. My mom came and stayed with the kids while we went (they were only spoiled a little....ha ha ha).
 At the end of our first hike. I struggled getting a good picture.
 Squirrel along the hike. There were tons along this hike and people were feeding them.
 Temple of Sinawava was our first hike. This is where you can hike to and play in the water. It was a cold weekend when we went so we just enjoyed the view. You also start the Narrows this way if you want to hike in and then hike back the same way you came.
 We also hiked all three Emerald Pools. This was going up to the Upper Falls.
 The Upper Falls (the falls are to the left of this picture).
 One of the middle pools.
 An arch we saw while driving home. Loved the shot with the moon.
We were gone Friday night through Sunday. We went and stayed at the hotel Friday night (dinner was from the gas station since Subway across the street was closed and it was getting late). Saturday we slept in and went to Zions that afternoon. For dinner we ate at the Thunderbird Restaurant that was part of our hotel. Then we ate breakfast there before heading home Sunday morning. This is Jared's 1 lb. ham steak for breakfast along with hash browns, eggs, and toast. And yes, he ate the entire thing and a little of my breakfast! It was a fun time and a much needed break!
