During my fall break, Joslyn and I decided to take the fall down to see the Grand Canyon. We have lived by it for so long, but none of us have ever seen it. Hello?!? It is one of the seven wonders of the world!
We passed the 100,000 mile mark on our car in Provo where this crazy family started.
Zion's was halfway between our house and the Grand Canyon. It made for a perfect break to get out and hike for a couple hours. We took the shuttle up to the emerald pools trailhead. The girls loved riding on the bus. (The buses may have been their highlight at Zions and the Grand Canyon).
The views are so stunning up there. Add a cute little munchkin (or two, or three) in there and the combination is just majestic.
At the trailhead.
One the way up, we passed a lady having a panic attack because the drop-offs we so high and there was no railing. Then this whole brigade came charging through. We may have almost caused a heart attack.
This girl is a trooper. She really loves walking and can do it forever. She hiked all the way to the pools (0.5 miles) twice, probably, with how much she back- and side-tracked.
The girls loved all the sand ever where. They thought that they were in a giant sandbox.
A few of the beautiful scenery and happy moments that we caught.
Still going. Everyone would stop and just watch her go.... probably because she zig-zagged across the whole trail, but also because she is so stinkin' cute!
It was such a beautiful, warm fall day. Perfect for a hike. So glad that we got to spend it together as a family.
The trail went right under one of the falls (only a trickle in the fall) that emptied into the pools. Here we are making a dash for it through the little trickle.
We made it!
The girls were so brave and excited about using these chains to hike out from the pools.
Just the misses and I. So beautiful... oh the scenery is nice too. ;)
What a little gem!
Cambry and Vienna busy at work in their "home" that they found on the side of the trail. They are so creative and fun.
