Zions Park

Mark, Scott and I packed our bags and hit the road for I dare say the BEST vacation we had yet to go on.
We went to all five Utah National Parks in one week.
It was incredible.
I would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone.
We left on Saturday the 5th very early in the morning to get to Zions on time.
We wanted to stay in the parks and all the reserved spots were taken so we chanced it and went to the "first come first serve" spots.
They almost turned us away, seriously, but a man standing close by gave us his site.
Miracle of miracles!
Get ready for picture fest, we took a lot.
 Scott saying hello.
View from our site.
 Other view of our site.
I loved this site.
All the sites are separated by tiny little streams.
Scott had the best time.
We had the best time... Watching this white trash couple arguing to the point that the park rangers came over twice and the guy got taken away in cuffs.
Crazy how you go to the outdoors to escape real life drama and even in this amazing place we couldn't help but find a reality show to watch.
 I love that view. :)
 All the streams led to this little river.
Sandy beaches along the edge and great calm pools along with small white water.
 Scott was in love.
He had the best time and through the biggest fit when leaving.
Great site to stay in if you don't need a shower everyday, only down side.
 These boys are so cute.
Scott did such a great job in and out of his back pack.
 The pools.
Great hikes.
 Before we left Scott got pushed over and banged his head.
He will be appearing in this trip with a bruise on his head.
 Us on a tall rock.
All Scott would say here was rock, to each one we saw.
He knows what a rock is.
 I had no idea before this trip that Mark has a secret desire to become a nature photographer.
If it was remotely interesting Mark took a picture of it.
After sorting through 100s of pics of just scenery I thought this one was the prettiest.
 We took turns with the back pack.
I got Scott when we went to the Narrows, just the mile hike before the water.
It just made Mark and I want to do the whole hike.
Maybe someday.
 We had dear right there in our site.
We had to get the table to show you how close they were.
 Scott loved it.
He says everything now.
Over and over again :)
 And here is our stamp.
Our proof that we went to Zion National Park.
I love this park.
My family would come here every year for spring break when I was in high school.
I loved remembering the old memories but most making new ones with my new family.
I'm so cheesy I know.
