Zion Day 3-4

This trip already seems to have happened ages ago. On the other hand, it feels like our break from school just recently started! Summer is so weird like that. Here's to remembering good days...

The Narrows in Zion National Park

June 2020

We started early and the water was cold, but we were grateful for being able to secure a ride in and beating the crowds. We hiked for over eight hours, numb at times, but beyond thrilled to experience the splendor. We enjoyed it to the very last moment.

On occasion, when the sun hit the canyons just right, we'd find a little sand bar or rock in the sunlight. And though the water was cold, we couldn't resist the emerald green, crystal clear pools in the afternoon light.

My eyes always spot the wild flowers...

Delicate green fern clung to the rock edges. I like this one better in black and white...

Day 4 was our travel day home. We chose to sleep in a bit after far too few hours of sleep on the days prior. We strolled through the shops of St. George, then later made a quick stop in Vagas to drive the Strip and see the fountain display of the Bellagio. Of course we still stopped on occasion for random pictures...

We're loving these summer days around here. Apart from this quick, spontaneous trip with Andrew, we have pretty much been homebound, but we have so much to enjoy right here at our door step. You will find me with a small pack of boys tonight, skipping dinner and jumping from rock ledges into the surf. Well, actually, I may just watch and take pictures. Or maybe just swim. And I'll make them French toast when we get home because they are always hungry.
