Hiking The Narrows in Zions :)!!!

WOW! What a rush to hike the narrows...If you haven't ever hiked it...I highly recommend it!! ((4 sure)) So a month or so ago..Holli and good friend of mine all 3 decided we were gonna hike the narrows! What a great experience!! The scenery thru the canyon is breathtaking...not to mention the experience of walking Thur rushing water for miles and miles!! We talked and talked which made the day go by faster...half way into the hike we stopped for a quick bite to eat! :) If I had the chance to hike it again...I WOULD!! We topped off the night by eating at "pizza noodle" in Springdale..Yum! I cant wait until our next adventure...Hiking..my new found love!!

Camping in Bryce Canyon

A few months ago our family decided to go on an overnight campout to Bryce..It was the first time Me or the girls had ever been. We packed up the mini van with enough bedding luggage and food for a week...even though we only planned on staying one night. We were hoping to stay in one of the campgrounds inside the park..but upon arriving realized they were all full...We drove around hoping to magically find an empty campground spot...but no such luck! We decided we would look around the park a bit and then maybe just head on down the road 5 or 10 miles and camp and one of the campgrounds outside the park...but on our way we spotted these wicked cool T-pees which looked like you could rent out...so we decided "just for fun" we would check it out! They did have just one more OR we could rent a darling little cabin for just a little more sheckles. After discussing it for a minute we decided it would be SO much fun for the kids..there was also a pool right next door..HECK YES! That's my way to camp! We warmed up some homemade potato soup and rolls..yum! Then went swimmimg for an hour os so and topped off the night with a card game "skipbo" The cabin just felt like home!!..for such a tiny little room I was surprised how smoothly everything went and how well everyone got along! The next day we wrapped everything up and drove to all the look out points in the park....and even decided to do a 2 mile hike with the girls...The scenery was breath taking...We had a safe drive home...and just really enjoyed spending quality family time!! :)
