visiting cyd & zion's national park

In February we decided to go on a little road trip down to Cedar City to see aunt Cyd and head into Zion's National Park to do some hiking. Heather came with us but she didn't want to hike so she stayed in Cedar and hung out with Cyd's friends while we went into the park for the day. I absolutely love Zion's! It is my favorite place. It is so gorgeous and peaceful and has the coolest energy about it. Plus, it's where me and Zac were at when we decided to get married and where our little boy's name comes from. We have been hiking and biking in Zion's sooooo many times but this time was the best, by far, because it was the first time we took our little Zion with us. We had so much fun! The first hike we did was called Weeping Rock. It's only about a half mile but it is really steep. Zion hiked the whole thing on his own!




He tried to jump off the trail a couple times but aunt Cyd has ninja like reflexes and saved him from the huge cliff he would have tumbled down.

Zion loved finding rocks with Cyd

It was so funny to watch Zion figure out how to keep his balance hiking up and down such a steep hill. I was so proud of him for doing it all on his own. A half mile hike is quite a distance for a 1.5 year old. After we finished that little hike we went on to Emerald Pools. Zion was getting tired so we put him in the pack for that hike and he was out cold pretty dang quick. I'm so happy that he loves his pack and will fall asleep in it so easily. It makes our hiking adventures so much easier. I can hardly wait for summer and all of the hiking we are going to be doing.




















PS... I can't believe it was warm enough to be hiking in February!
