Zion National Park

We took Wayne's Mom to Zion so that she could experience the Narrows, but first we stopped off at a natural slide.
-
I guess the water was a little cold.
-
-
Don't even think about it, Tyler!
-

-

-
Tyler's turn....
-
-
Tyler decided to jump off the edge - which is so out of character for him - the water came up to his neck and was pulling him backward. Very scary! Thankfully Wayne was right there to pull him out. This is a photo of Wayne reminding Tyler that you NEVER jump into water when you have no idea how deep it is. It looks like he was yelling at him, but he really wasn't.

-
Hayden's up next.
-

-
After going down the slide many times we headed over to the Court of the Patriarchs where Genevieve had a great time showing everyone what the term "terrible twos" means. Thankfully we will never see any of those people again!
-

-
On to the Narrows....
After Genevieve almost got away from me after falling, I decided it would be a good idea to tie her life jacket strap to my belt loop. She was loving the water!
-
-
She had a skinny stick that broke, so Hayden gave her a new one. She loved it even more! Hayden is such a sweet big brother.
-
-
Wayne took the boys across some deeper, swifter water to check out this mini cave.
-
-
Tyler had a tough time keeping balanced while walking on all the invisible rocks.
-
-

-
I told Wayne that I was waiting for him to fall so that I could capture it on "film". He never did, but he still made me laugh by pretending to fall.

We ended our day with Japanese food, ice cream and a movie.
It was an exhausting, but great day!
