Zion's National Park

To continue about our Trip... we drove from SLC to Kanosh and made a short visit to Aaron's Dad's old stomping ground. We then made our way to Zion's. It was beautiful. We actually enjoyed the great outdoors.

This is Aaron and Caroline at the visitor's center. We learned quite a bit about the History (it was established by Mormon pioneers and was a refuge spot for water). We decided how we wanted to spend the next 24 hours by visiting here.
As we drove to a popular tunnel, we took a few snapshots.
We ohhed and awwed the whole way.
We took a break and went to the Weeping Rock. Any part of the year you will see water pouring out from the middle of this rock. Caroline loved hiking up the incline. It was a new thing for her.
On the way up we saw tiny waterfalls. And Caroline had to stop and point at each one and say "Wah"
You can't see the water, but it is falling behind us.
That night, we stayed in a super fun cabin. No T.V. (ya), but it had a fireplace. It was fun. We did retire early, because it got dark and cold fast. I enjoyed reading a book as the other two went to sleep. The next day we planned on getting up and going, but because we were in a valley, the sun didn't reach inside until about 10 o'clock. We then took a little hike to the Emerald pools and really enjoyed ourselves.

We couldn't get over the views.

Caroline had to be transferred to the front pack. She isn't an avid hiker just yet.

Don't get smooshed by the rocks!

Aaron and Caroline being dangerous. This is the furthest pool we could get to.Hi Mom... Aaron is best at taking the up close and personal shots.
This is where the top pool flows over.

Even though it was short, we had a great time there.

Sorry if its boring, that was a bulk of our pictures, but our trip is still not over :)
