Zion National Park

Monday January 31st, 2011, SM's sister and family took us to see Zion National Park near their home.  One of the first things we saw was this frozen waterfall and my brother-in-law was kind enough to pull over and let us get a picture of it.  Isn't that beautiful?

Here's my beautiful SIL.  We were both walking around with our camera's taking all sorts of photos.

My niece loved this root and spent some time trying to figure out why it looks they way it does.  (Don't you just love how kids will question many things to figure out why things are the way they are?) 
And here's my mighty husband, relaxing against a large rock structure and wondering why it is taking me so long to catch up to the group.  The answer is that I kept stopping to take picture of the natural beauty around me and then had to hurry to catch up to the group.




What a cute family!


Here I am, not really hiding in the trees but posing to get my picture taken!

Neither of these two have a fear of heights.  I was scared for them and chose to shoot the picture and then walk away.  I didn't want to watch them try to get down from that rock.

After a lovely afternoon we stopped for dinner at a place called Oscars and had some terrific burgers and sweet potato fries.  Above is SM's sister and husband.

The girls.

And a view of Zions at sunset!  It was a lovely trip and I'm glad I had the opportunity of going to visit our friends and family in St. George.

I just read your sweet comment on my blog. It is JUST what I needed. You are so kind. I feel the same way about YOU! I've looked up to you for so long! I love keeping up with you on your blog! I love it when I get to see your mom for a moment or two when I'm in Utah. I just think the world of you. Thank you so much for your kind words. They do more than you know...
