Thursday saw us head back to Zion National Park to hike the Narrows. This famous hike goes up the Virgin River in Zion National Park as far as you'd like. You just head up the river IN THE RIVER, and when you get tired of going up the river, you turn around and go down the river (in whatever way you deem best). Our kids are never at a loss of making the most fun of any situation so they took full advantage of the opportunity to "get wet" and spent much of their time submerged in the very dirty and silty river. Hopefully you can tell from the pictures how dirty the river is; there's been lots of rainfall up the canyon lately that has swept countless tons of silt down river. In fact, the day we hiked the Narrows, the Forest Service had flash flood warnings out. Few survive a flash flood in the Narrows, but we decided to do it anyway. We're glad! It was a great time! Friday was "hang out at the condo day" topped off by pizza at the Wright's house. The kids had an absolute blast hanging out with their kids the past week. We road their ATVs in the dunes out behind their house, hiked up a little canyon to some petroglyphs (cave drawings - Jami fell and hurt her foot pretty badly. Hope she's OK.), and Noel and I even got a chance to take a lengthy spin on the ATVs (sometime you should ask Noel what it was like to get stuck on top of the scrub bush!). It was a lot of fun! The kids are already talking about going back to St. George to visit the Wrights on a family vacation in the future. Saturday, we headed back home, stopping by Bryce Canyon on the way. Bryce Canyon was one of the sights I definitely wanted to see on the trip; I wasn't disappointed.
Hope you all are having a great week as well. Please pray that we have a safe trip home. We will visit a local church tomorrow morning, take a scenic drive through Arches National Park here in Moab and then head home. Hopefully, we'll be home by Sunday night.
Don't forget to look at the new pictures at the bottom of the blog.
