Zion National Park

My sister Lindsay, her husband John, and my adorable nephew Caleb came to Cedar at the end of June. John was on his way to California and he kindly dropped Lindsay and Caleb off so they could be at my wedding. John had work in California so he was added to the list of loved ones that were unable to attend the wedding. We sure did miss him!

Anyways! John was able to stay in Cedar a couple of days so we decided to go to Zion. I have never hike Angels Landing so we decided to do so. The Madsen's came to Cedar, picked up Steve, Dana, and me and we headed off to St George in Lindsay's fancy new car.

We had to go to St George so Steve could return some Army things. While we were in St George we noticed that Lindsays fancy new car was acting up. When we would stop at red lights the AC would turn off. John finally decided to pull over and apparently something was very wrong. This left us stranded in St George for awhile. I personally really enjoyed myself. It was fun window shopping with my sisters and playing with my nephew. We went and had sushi for lunch and Caleb made me laugh so hard, I almost cried.

John ended up getting an awesome mini van and we headed off to Zion! We got there just in time. It was late enough in the afternoon so it wasn't really hot and we finished the hike just in time before the park closed.

We had lots of fun! It was a beautiful hike. I am loving all the green in Tennessee but I already miss the beautiful scenery of Utah.

My sisters Lindsay and Dana
I love my sissys! And Caleb

I LOVE Lindsays camera. I cant wait to get a fancy camera. This is my attempt at being artistic.
Steve kept telling my to back up and stand up for this picture. This was the only time I was actually scared. I was worried I would miss my step and fall. Freaky!
The end!
Steve and I were the only ones that made it to the top due to a combination of fear of heights and a small child. The only camera I had was Lindsay's fancy huge camera so it was hard to get a good picture at the top. This is the best we got.
Oh my husband
Sweet little Caleb
Sweet Caleb is such a mommy's boy and needed to hold Lindsays hand the whole time
I love this picture! Dana is the sweetest and I love her so much. I miss her everyday and miss living in Cedar with her.
It was a great day! The drive home was hilarious. Lindsay, Dana, and myself were referred to as "The Little Girls" while we were growing up and whenever we get together we laugh and play like we did when we were young. I love it. Thanks again for a fun day, sistas!

  2. So when you say "my sisters and Dana" does this mean I am not your sister anymore?

  3. Yes Dana that is what she means. I also love that every time you mention an object of mine you call it fancy. I feel so fancy. I also love that John made the list of people missed at the wedding. And for the record John and Jeff made it to the top as well
