Now that we have a child in school we get to go on trips during things like "fall break!" YAY! Grant had last Friday off school so we headed down to St. George to soak up some warmer weather, do some hiking, and take a day trip to Zion's.
I think Grant's favorite part of the trip was exploring in Snow Canyon. We took our bikes and the trailer and did a little ride up the canyon to let the kids play on "pancake rock." I love that Grant beat all of us to the top of the mountain in the picture below!

This boy needs a hair cut sooooo bad!
Our first hike in Zions was the Emerald pools. Grant did awesome and hiked to the top pool all by himself. He did however trip and hit his head on a rock like 100 feet before we got to the third pool, awesome! So he rode in the backpack on the way down. It was perfect weather and absolutely gorgeous there.
We were lucky enough to even see some Fall colors.

Hiking up to the second pool.
Almost to the third pool. I love this picture...Adam is so small and that mountain is so big! Pictures don't really do this place justice, it's so pretty.
We made it, with a sleeping Davis and Grant who had a giant goose egg on his head from his fall, poor kid.
Our second little hike was Weeping Rock...the rock that "rains" all year round.
Grant found a spider web with a spider in it! He is seriously all boy. He was distracted by that spider for like 10 minutes!
On the way down from Weeping Rock, Grant met some friends, and a squirrel. These cute little girls pointed out the squirrel for Grant. They could have watched that critter all day!
Our last little hike was the River Walk. We didn't do the whole thing, we were all pretty tired, but we got to see the river and the beautiful canyon walls.
Back at the hotel having pillow fights.
It was a great little get-away with our small family. I loved every second of it. It made me REALLY grateful for such awesome kids and a wonderful husband.

What a fun family vacation. I totally miss the canyons and places like Zion. Consider yourself lucky!
Aah! Christy, this makes me want to go back there so bad. I bet it was gorgeous this time of year. So much fun (and your boys are ADORABLE). Love and miss Davis' locks for you!
