Camping at Zions National Park

My husband is famous for the self portrait snapshots...

My kids, hot and tired but always amazing.

Wishing I could crop my hips out of this one.

Don't you love Wildlife adding itself to your pictures- I love this one!

We just got back from Zions today. I'm tired! It was worth it to have such a great time with the kids. My little junior adventurers like to go go go. We camped at a beautiful campground (Watchman- we like the B loop) but did some hiking and snooping around the park. It is so beautiful there and so close to our home. Our first time with 4 kids though.

Our youngest was so (surprisingly) good but the 7 yr old had a harder time. I was afraid she would, she's the sensitive one and let's face it... camping isn't all that comfy. She did great until bedtime, everything was weird in the dark to her and definitely not her own bed. I'm sure our camping neighbors loved the 2 crying fits during the night. Besides that it was great to be together and have that time with them!

Love Zions, but sadly we never go there! I went there more when I lived up north! Did you know there's no fee's this weekend into the park? Hopefully I can get Jake to go! Jake's not a big hiker, but I LOVE it! Getting ready to go camping takes major planning! We were going to go a couple weeks ago up to the family ranch in central, but it rained and we realized how unprepared we were-maybe it's one of those things that with time you realize what you do/don't need!
