Zion Biking and Family Lovin!


Zion National Park is one of the prettiest places around Southern Utah! People travel from all around the world just to come and see it's beauty. Considering how close we live we can't take it for granted. Surprisingly one of our favorite times to head up there ...is late at night! That's right, nighttime. When you think it's too dark to enjoy it because you can't see anything. You're wrong. Our friend Gump came up with this brilliant Idea. We load up our bikes and head up to Zion, planning to get there just in time to park at the Church at the bottom of town and catch the last bus up to the top around 8-9:30. We load our bikes onto the bus rack or just take them with us inside then after chilling at the top drop off until all the buses have gone down for the night along with random cars...then it's time! We just coast on down through the beautiful mountains and switchbacks usually enjoying the night crisp air. If we are lucky we choose a night when there's a full moon which lights up the whole canyon! We usually try to stop at a little lookout for snacks or we'll go do a night hike after we finish biking at the overlook. I'm telling you...everyone needs to try this! It's one of our favorite things to do!!






This weekend was so nice and relaxing! Saturday we got to sleep in, then we helped Steve & Shannon prune some trees in the backyards which wore us out so we took a little nap on the lawn under the tree with cat. He loves Ethan and always has to sleep right in between us! Saturday was also RSL game day, so of course we had to wear our jersey/shirts for good luck. It totally worked because it was a killer game. We won 3-2!



Sunday we went to Hurricane and ate with the family. Then of course it was croquet time! The girls even played a game...with our own made up rules. I came in second but should have easily taken first if I hadn't choked! haha Got to see all the kids and babies! Even got to cuddle for a good amount of time with both the babies. Gosh I love family time on Sundays. I am so blessed with an amazing family and wonderful husband!! Here's just a bunch of photos from the day!
