Zion

Zion is a pretty cool park.  So far, it is the only park that has a seperate nature center for kids.  Right when we entered the park we had to stop for bighorn sheep to cross the road.  Since it was so hot out, 104 degrees, we opted to play in the river most of the day.  Plus, Brooklyn found more tadpoles! This time the tadpoles had little back legs!

The girls ended up swimming in their our clothes.

Sunset at Horsebend

Horsebend is one of my favorite places.  It is just cool!  After the Grand Canyon we rushed up to Horsebend to watch the sunset. 

It was a bit windy.

Kaleigh and I beat Brooklyn and Elizabeth back on the hike!  They may argue there was a different finish line, but we disagree!

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon has a special place in my heart.  It is where I done my first long hike and it was with Elizabeth.  Before we were married, Elizabeth and I hiked over 60 miles in the Grand Canyon.  After spending 6 days hiking without showers and not killing each other - I figured she would be a good girl to marry!

Another night sleeping in the car!

We spent a little to much time at Yosemite and the elephant seals, so we had to push it to the Grand Canyon.  We stopped at 1:20 am and were back on the road at 5:20 - some random rest stop!  We made it on schedule.  This is one of the few stops we met up with someone.  Tom and Lisa Conner drove up from Phoenix to meet us!  Plus, they were nice enough to let us clean up in there hotel room!

Del Taco

And Thank You Del Taco, I missed you!  The best Mexican fast food there is!

First stop in AZ....Kingman.

When we first arrive in AZ, Chris almost took a job in Kingman - where there are hungry dogs!

One of our previous residence....Arizona.
