Zion

This past weekend were able to take a much needed vacation to Zion National Park.  Jon's family has been going there for Easter for the past 25 years.  We couldn't make it down Easter weekend, but his parents were still down there so we packed up and went.  The weather didn't quite cooperate with us though.  The first day were there we dove in to St, George and saw Jon's little brother.  We spent a little time in the park but I didn't bring the camera.  Day 2 we woke up to lots of rain, so we decided to take a drive up to the East entrance and through the tunnel.
It was snowing up there. 

 It was fun to see the park in the snow.

 The other great thing about the rain, is lots of waterfalls.
 The next morning the rain had cleared and it was beautiful.
 There is nothing more beautiful than these two girls.

 Since we didn't get to hike the first few days we made up for it on our last day and went on 4.  It kicked our butts, but I'm so glad we did it.  We had so much fun on this trip!
Our trip ended with a rainbow over our campsite.

The past few weeks the girls have been taking ice skating lessons.  They really like it and I'm surprised at how good they are.  Their first lesson was also their first time ever ice skating. 


 The best part of lessons is that we are taking them with their cousins.  They are all in different classes but all the classes are at the same time, just divided into groups on the ice.

 They get to have free time the last 15 minutes of class. 
 Bri is so cute with her cousins.

The whole gang. 

I love these kids!
