Next stop Zion National Park. On the way down we encountered weird weather. It went from dry and hot to cold and hail. Weird but nice because we've been sweating all summer long so some cold hail was FUN! Zion was awesome! Perfect hikes for the whole family and the massive stroller could go anywhere, though there were parts where Jon and I did carry it with 2 relaxing kids inside. Heavy, but it was a WORKOUT! I think this was the "goal" of this entire trip. To see how many workouts in different areas of the western states we could do. Brody always had to do a tuck plange every where we went. It's one of the skills he has been working on in his Hot Shot class this summer. Anyhow, we burned a lot of calories. Now, back to Zion. We found out about a Jr. Ranger program they offer where the kids get a packet that they have to complete and they then in return receive an award and in this case they received a badge. They were so proud of their accomplishments because they truly worked hard for those things. Jon and I were very happy with their persistence in getting it completed. They even had a swear in process to make it extra official. We love the out of doors and I think this will be our new tradition in going to one national park every summer until we hit them all!! I love our family! Oh ya, the last picture is Taylee on the toilet in the hotel with Jon's hat on. Silly bugger. Oh and the kids loved the hotel and the view from the hotel is amazing. I could go back there.
