I will apologize now for the picture overload. This isn't even 1/8th of what I took. It is like I become possessed when I am in the mountains! So I tried to post mostly the kids and family hiking!
Over the Thanksgiving break we got to also head to Zions.
The weather was perfect! We couldn't have gone on a better day!
All the kids hiked so well and didn't complain at all!
It was really nice!
We hiked the Emerald Pools hike. And went clear to the upper pools!
Starting out....
Good little hikers...
Beautiful views....
Lower pools....
heading up to the second pool....
Kenny wanted to lead the way the whole time. She didn't want my help!
Beau packed Luke and Luke didn't cry once!
Mollie had fun splashing in the second pools run off!
What a beautiful girl!
On our way up to the third pool!
The pool was so beautiful against the red cliff and rock!
Taking a break...need a kiss!:)
This is the background of the pool!
Breathtaking!
Lil' Briglet
Luke
My sisters and I got a kick out of this old man. Seriously he stood like this forever! I felt like I was in a Porter Rockwell Magazine for a second! HA!
Hiking down....
This rock climber was so far away! I could barely see him with my eyes. But see if you can see him in the first and second picture. The first picture I was zoomed in 1/4 and the second 1/2 and the third all the way! I love my lens...it is powerful. I don't get enough opportunities to break it out!
After lunch we waited for the shuttle to head up the mountain further. Can you tell who is tired? Brig just plopped down right where we were waiting! It was so cute!
Hiking some more
Some more beautiful shots...
The kids worked on their junior ranger packets the whole time.
So they got badges and sworn in as Junior rangers!
And what a better way to end the evening then to drive out and see this?
I had such a perfect Thanksgiving weekend. One of my favorites thus far!
My sisters and their families, the food, Dr. Mario tournaments, more food, laughing, talking, shopping, and playing games!Thanks for coming guys!
We hope you had as fun as we did!
