Zion's National Park

We knew that Chris was leaving the beginning of June so we took a small vacation to St George Utah.  IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.  We went to Zion's National Park and did two hikes and it was amazing.  I am not the most athletic person but I am willing to try almost anything.  The first hike we took was the Emerald pools hike.  It has a lower, middle, and upper pools.  You cannot swim in any of them but they were so beautiful and it wasn't too tough either.




The above picture is when we made it to the upper pool.  It was nice and shaded (which was great after that long hike).  We had so much fun and talked a lot and just enjoyed each others company.


Our second hike was easier.  It was really pretty and the huge rocks narrowed the farther you walked which was neat.  There also was a part where you could wade in the water and it was so peaceful.  Chris and I sat on a rock and enjoyed each others company and the scenery (which was so quiet and in a way romantic) while Noah played in the water.


Just so you know...I HAVE THE BEST HUSBAND EVER!  Just blogging about our trip makes me miss him already so much.


We spent the night in a really nice hotel in St George.  We swam in the pool and got in the hot tub which was all surrounded with palm trees.  I didn't take my camera down to the pool but I should have.  It was beautiful. The next morning we got up and had breakfast and got ready for the day.  We drove around St George and looked at the big houses and then stopped by the St George LDS Temple.  It was breathtaking.  We got out and walked the grounds and just felt such peace and love being there knowing that we are a family forever.




When we were driving around we went on the top of one of the red rock mountains and got to see this view.  We then drove the 4 1/2 hours back to Provo, drinking monsters and laughing and just enjoying each other company.  It may have only been a two day trip but it was amazing!
