Spring Break-Zions

Spring Break actually felt like Spring this year!
We spent the first half doing some work around the yard- cutting back plants and placing new mulch.
Then we headed down to Zion's National Park.  We had so much fun there last year that we wanted to head back down and repeat some favorite hikes.
The kids voted Hidden Canyon as their favorite.  It is a really fun hike.  Lots of scrambling and thrilling- moderately dangerous at times to be honest.  But we were careful and it was so beautiful.  The weather could not have been more perfect.  



Last year we had our littlest ones in backpacks.  Laini actually walked a good chunk up the mountain and Kai walked the whole way.
Except for a few exceptions when he was carried up  rock faces.  
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.  ~John Muir
