The Weather is Beautiful, Wish You Were Here

 Blogger has changed on me since my last post, so I really hope this works!

We are finishing up Day 3 of our Utah road trip & we are having a great time! This is just a quick post to share a few pictures.  These were taken from my camera, and, unfortunately, all the amazing pictures from Noah's camera will have to be posted after we get home.

So, we left on Friday morning and made the approximately 8-hr drive to Springdale, UT, which is just outside of Zion National Park. Keira did an AWESOME job on the drive! We had a long stop-over for lunch, which was a nice break, but after that, she was in the car for about 5 hours straight! Thankfully, she had a 1+ hr nap along the way!

 I hope she knows how to read that map so she can tell us where we're going!

On Saturday morning, Keira and I spent a few hours together while Noah went in to Zion to do a more extensive hike without us. Just down the road from our hotel was a city park and it was amazing! We had the whole park to ourselves for a while (we wish our friends were there to play with us!!) and Keira loved all the great playground toys and the view was incredible!!

Climbing on giant rocks is fun too!

Around lunchtime, Keira and I made our way into Zion and met up with Noah. The three of us did 2 hikes together (Noah has most of these pictures, which I'll share later). 

The first hike was along the Virgin River and we ended up at this beautiful spot. Keira LOVED throwing rocks into the water!

She loved throwing rocks with Daddy, too!

This morning (Sunday), we left Zion and drove about 2 hours to Bryce Canyon. We spent the day exploring the canyon with it's amazing views and crazy rock formations (known as "hoodoos"). Keira did an awesome job hiking about 1+ miles along the canyon rim trail! After driving along to see the rest of the viewpoints (Daddy drove and stopped to take pictures while Keira & Mommy napped in the car!), we had a good dinner at the Bryce Canyon Lodge. It was a full and fun day and we're all exhausted!

Love to all our family and friends!!!
