Zion National Park

Our little family and Charles' sister, Angela, went to Zion National Park for three days.  We had tons of fun!  A lot of these photos are from Angela (Thanks!)

Day 1:

 Pa'rus Trail

 Charlie didn't get the concept of a water bottle.  He tried to put the entire opening in his mouth not realizing he would drown himself.  We consequently had to stick to using a baby bottle for his water consumption.

Kayenta Trail which fed into the Upper Emerald Pool trail

 Over priced smoothie, but still well worth the $4 since we were beat because we didn't realize how hard and long the Kayenta and Upper Pool trails were.  I have never felt so exhausted before.  Props to Charles for carrying Charlie almost all of the time.

 Day 2: My Mom and Larry who live in St. George came up one day to hang out with us.

Weeping Rock Trail 

Little river at the base of the trail where we found this crazy pink plant growing in the water. 

Riverside Walk, this trail leads to the beginning of The Narrows.

The squirrels at Zion had no inhibitions.

 

 Look, I am standing on water :)

 I think this is the funniest picture ever!

 At the mouth of the trail to The Narrows.

The squirrel wouldn't go away while I was feeding Charlie.  I went to swat at it thinking it would move before I hit it, but it didn't.

Day 3:  We were at a shuttle stop here using the restrooms before our hike.  Charlie and Angela patiently waited.  Another shuttle came by and Charlie decided to wave to everyone on it.  Angela said that he got quite a few people waving back at him.

Lower Emerald Pool Trail

Waiting outside the gift shop Charlie decided that he could stand up all by himself.
