| It was Lucy's Spring Break so since this was our first time juggling Spring Break as a family, we decided we needed to do something great! |
 |
| We opted for camping and hiking at Zion National Park. We stayed at Watchman Campground right in the park. It has breathtaking views and is so convenient to see the park. |
 |
| Isn't that a great view?! |
 |
| Having fun setting up camp. (Actually, taking selfies while Marc set up camp) |
 |
| Our first hike of the trip to Weeping Rock |
 |
| The kids did great, but were not up for more than about a mile at a time. |
 |
| These two adore each other. |
 |
| The family at Weeping Rock |
 |
| Everywhere we went, we kept meeting people form all over the world who had come to see this amazing site. I love Zion and I am so glad I can take my children there. |
 |
| Do you love Lucy's poses? |
 |
| It was great to see have the kids find such simple joys all along the way: playing in the sand, throwing rocks in the river, stacking rocks. finding bugs . . . |
 |
| Me and my love (yes we are wearing matching shirts and yes, it was planned) |
 |
| The Boy exploring |
 |
| Coming up from playing at the river. |
 |
| We stopped frequently to check out bugs. Vivian called them, "So adorable" |
 |
| My beautiful first born. |
 |
| Climbing some rocks |
 |
| She is getting so big! |
 |
| And her little sister has to do everything she sees her big sister do. |
 |
| I was in my element |
 |
| Hiking The Grotto |
 |
| Marc and Lucy spent a lot of time chatting on the trip. She constantly wanted to be by him. It was really heart-warming to watch. |
 |
| At The Grotto |
 |
| Vivian stopped mid-hiking often to pick up a little rock or stare at some bugs. This particular time, she stuck 5 sticks in the ground and said, "Look, a little family." I love her so much. She brings our family so much joy. |
 |
| Vivian insisted on scaling this rock all by herself (she is very independent) |
 |
| And this is the look of pure joy on a 2-year-old's face after she just accomplished something all by herself!!! |
 |
| A few shots of the incredible scenery |
 |
| The kids enjoyed roasting marshmallows and hotdogs. Marc and I enjoyed our tinfoil dinners and dutch oven cobbler-Mmmmmm! |
 |
| Look at that darling little sassy crossed leg! |
 |
| This boy loves his marshmallows. |
 |
| The kids were asleep within moments of getting in their sleeping bags. It was great. |
 |
| The morning got a little chilly |
 |
| There were lots of caterpillars at our site and the kids were fascinated with them. |
 |
| We hiked The River Walk to The Narrows |
 |
| I love this picture for so many reasons. |
 |
| These two had a great time running along the trail and checking out the river. |
 |
| When we got down to the river, David and Vivian could not wait to get in it. |
 |
| They threw rocks over and over again |
 |
| David brought a little friend along |
 |
| Vivian was so intent on finding the perfect rock |
 |
 |
| And once it was time to go . . . they were out! |
 |
| I love spending time with these people. |
