Family trip to Zions

Our family got to go to Arizona a couple of weeks ago. We just took our time getting there. We stopped in St. George the first night and the next day we went to Zions National Park. It was so much fun. We went on a little hike, and the kids had a blast exploring. They were so excited to find a cool tunnel that went under the road. The kids loved Zions so much, Dasan even said "This is better than Disney Land!" (We were going to go to Disney Land, but it didn't work out.) We had too much fun taking pictures. Now I have so many cool pictures to choose from. Its hard to decide which ones to post. I'll probably put a lot of them up. And the greatest thing about it, is the kids really enjoyed getting their pictures taken, they didn't get tired of it. We stayed in a really cute and cozy little cottage room right outside of Zions. The next day we went swimming and then set off to find some cool rocks to buy at the many rock stores there. Now we have an awesome rock collection display on our shelf.



We were so in awe of the beautiful majestic mountains.

It was so easy getting amazing photos with the beautiful natural landscape as our background.

This is the cool tunnel that the kids found.

Curtis took some awesome pictures. He is really becoming a great photographer; I'm so proud of him. We have so much fun taking pictures together now.

This was at the beginning of our little hike.

This was taken half way up the hike. It was a nice and easy hike.


The hike brought us to the top of the mountain where we could look out at the beautiful scenery.

It looks so scary, but it wasn't that bad.

My little superheros, are so strong.

Curtis is so strong. At one point he had to carry Malakai and Alexa on the hike. Malakai was sleeping and Alexa was getting tired.

This was at the end of the hike. We weren't too exhausted, but it was nice just to be able to rest in the car, and head down to find a hotel to stay in for the night.

One last picture of Zions, as we drive away.

This was our cute and cozy cabin like room.

It was really nice swimming and being able to see the beautiful mountains all around us.
We sure had some wonderful moments together as a family. It was so nice to be able to just enjoy each other, and not have the stress of our every day life. Oh! I want to go back!
