Zion National Park

We decided to have a fun family day hiking in Zion's. I had never been to the Kolob area of Zion's but we did buy a national parks year pass so I am sure we will be back again. We went on a hike that crosses back and forth over a stream. The hike started out pretty hard going straight down but once it got to the stream it ended up being really easy and the kids loved it. In the portion of the hike we finished we crossed over the stream around 10 times.


















The problem with the stream was EVERYTIME we crossed it Ruby had to stop and throw rocks or she would scream and when we would try to keep hiking she would scream. We made it half was through the hike when we finally got tired of Ruby yelling and whinning so we turned around.
Despite Ruby it was a beautiful hike and the weather was really nice. We brought sweatshirts but soon decided it was too warm, but in spots there was still snow so it was really strange. Porter and I found a part of the stream that was still frozen so he stomped on it and tried to break through the ice.
Sam is really busy and we don't get to see him very much and we especially dont get to spend a lot of time doing fun things as a family so it was a much needed family day.
