Since Hyrum had a four day weekend, we opted for a short family trip to St. George and Zion's National Park. Wish we could have stayed longer than our time and finances would allow, but we sure had fun with the time allotted us.
Friday we spent at Zion's. We hiked one trail and did a lot of driving. We wanted to do another hike but time and children didn't allow a second. Oh well. Next time and with more time. Gotta go back when it's a bit warmer anyway so Hyrum can finish his Jr. Ranger Badge.
Me carrying Dan. Had to lean forward funny so that he was actually in the picture. Emma stuck with me. She was scared of the height and the water. We hiked up to Weeping Rock. She loved it once we got up there because the rock was crying on her.
Joe toted Porter and we tried to keep Hyrum in check. He actually took off on us on the way down and got into BIG trouble. They also enjoyed the crying rocks.
Danny has become VERY independent. He wants to walk everywhere. However, he does not want to hold our hands so we tried the monkey, which he enjoyed. Gave him a bit more freedom and then he could "go walk" as he says. He was "go walk" constantly. Nutter. He was so mad at me when I had to put him in the backpack to hike. He wanted to "go walk".
We also visited with Naomi and Nate (Naomi is Joe's sister, and Nate be her hubby). The kids had fun playing football with Dad and Aunt Oni.
Emma chilling with Uncle Nate but still playing with everyone else. Her styling Pink Panther sunglasses make the great accessory.
I was just trying to keep Dan from "go walk" again.
Hyrum finally caught the ball. He can throw with the best of them, but has butterfingers.
No one come between the 15 month old and his IPod. Well, it's his Dad's and he's rocking out to The Killers. He sure loves that IPod. He kept getting really mad whenever he would loose one of the earbuds.
Porter had to strut about in Uncle Nate's Cornhusker's hat.
Emma getting tickled but Aunt Naomi.
We had a great visit with family and fun at the park. So much warmer down there, and I totally wanted to stay, especially as we came north and hit a bad snow storm. So unfair. Oh well, welcome to Utah.
