Spring Break Day 1

We had a very short Spring Break..3 days off from school to be exact.  We spent the time in St. George and toured Zion National Park.  We had a great time even though the weather didn't cooperate for one of the days.  We were also very excited to hang out with Mike and Laura's family.  We always have some good laughs together!  

On Day 1, we hiked the Emerald Pools trails.  It was pretty long with lots of fun elevation changes to view the water falls and pools.  We all made it to the end of the trail to find the big pool of water at the end.  The last part of the hiking trail we had to scale some rocks but the kids loved it and were faster than the adults getting around.

After trying to decide if we wanted to hike the hardest trail called Angels Landing.  We were getting mixed reviews from strangers around.  Some would say don't take small kids, other would say take them. All the boys and I wanted to hike it so bad.  So, we decided to save it for the next day, but with our luck it rained the next day and we did not want to hike the very steep incline up in the rain. 

We then headed back to St. George and found ourselves very hungry and stopped at this fun place called the Zion Post.  The food was so yummy and the decor was fun!

After all the hiking around you would think the kids would be tried..nope they went swimming at the hotel and still had lots of energy.

Day 2 coming soon....
