a day out

We went to Zion National park on Tuesday. On the way there we made our boys very happy. They have been wanting us to take them to this mini town for years now. This was their lucky day. They got to run all around this little town and even feed some stinky animals.



Luckily the llamas didn't have any extra saliva to share with us.
As you can see - Genevieve wasn't a huge fan of the stinky animals. Especially this donkey.
After our stop we headed on to Zion. This was our best visit ever! We saw four deer, 4 squirrels, and 13 lizards. The boys love counting all the crazy things we see. We only hiked to the lower emerald pools since Genevieve was asleep in her stroller and to go further you have to hike up. But Wayne was kind enough to stay behind while the boys and I went a little further to the middle pools. It was a fun adventure. We then watched a 30 minute video about the history behind Zion. We've never done that.... it was kind of interesting and a nice break from the heat. When we got home we hurried over to cheer on Tyler and his team as they played baseball. Tyler did awesome! He got on base both times up to bat. By the end of the day we were totally pooped! But it was a great day!!!!
