zIoN

Ellie spent all last week up North with her Aunt Tami, she had so much fun and talks about what they did all the time. I will do a post in the next few days after I get a copy of some of the pics. So Tami brought her back home on Friday and stayed for the rest of the weekend. 

Tami had never been out to Zion so we decided to head out there early Saturday morning. With the kids in tow we thought the Emerald Pools hike would be perfect, both kids did great on the way up, we even went up to the middle pools and Ellie loved all the stairs and Cooper loved all the dirt. We had a little snack break and then headed back down the path. About 1/2 mile from the end Ellie was finished, she wouldn't walk anymore and wanted to be carried, Brady had already taken off down the path, so I picked her up and put her on my back. Well, that didn't make her happy either and she ended up crying most of the way back.  After we made it back to the grass she was magically cured and had a blast running around with Cooper. Another highlight was riding on the Zion School Bus and seeing a few Bambi's and Chip and Dale's (i think we may watch a little to much Disney at our house:)!!

On our way home we stopped and had a delicious lunch at the Majectic Inn Cafe. It's a great place to eat if you have a lot of time to waste, they are not the quickest, but the food was super yummy!!
