Zion's National Park

We went down to southern Utah for a small family trip and we had a blast. I recommend everyone going down there. We stayed our first night in Panguitch were we stayed in a hotel. Elsie runs in, very excited and asks "is this our new home? Where is the kitchen?" 10 minutes later she finds the phone books and says "this is what we will read for a good night story." She is so funny!

The next morning we went into the park, which is truly awe-inspiring! It was just so beautiful. We did a couple of hikes and visited the visitors center. Then we set up camp, which was at a camping resort. It was very cool. They had a big swimming pool and rock wall and zip line and Frisbee golf and pool and ping pong and a buffet...you name it they had it. We loved it and would go there again. Elsie loved the swimming pool.

We went on a couple of hikes. It was so beautiful. Elsie did really well. Some hikes were paved and we could take the double stroller but we needed to take the baby backpack on others hikes. We saw a lot of wildlife right along the path. The closest I have ever been to a deer family, wild turkeys, tarantula, desert lizards and a lot of little squirrels. We will have to go for longer next time. We are definitely going back.
