Zions

This week was National Park Week which equals free admission to the National Park’s.  When we started out the day did not look promising.  It was windy and looked like rain; but once we got there it was amazing.  When we did make it Addison was still asleep.  We decided to continue the drive and let her keep sleeping,we drove to through the tunnel (which I am sure that has a name but do not know it). I used to be fearless, well maybe not fearless but…. On the way up to the tunnel I could not stand looking over the edge.  Once we got into the tunnel I felt like I could not breathe.  It was a tad bit ridiculous and I was annoyed.  Apparently my list of things I am afraid of now include tunnels and heights.  When we got back to the park we snagged a sweet parking spot and unloaded.  Addison had an little sunhat but after the 10th time of picking it up (the socks were often thrown out of the stroller too) I gave up.  She did look cute the 7 minutes she had it on.

For some unknown reason the area near the visitor center was covered in caterpillars.  It was gross. On some benches you could not see that actual bench surface, it just looked like a mass of wiggling black things.  This little guy was apparently not invited to the party.  This little girl was trying to feed it a leaf by telling it how yummy it was.  She was cute!

We road the bus up to the top of the canyon.  Addi kept us and the people around us thoroughly entertained.

We were short on time so we were only able to do a small trail.  We walked along the river to were the Narrows trail begins.  We were able to see some great scenery.

Addi was great the entire trip.  She was happy and never cried.  We were lucky!

Addi has this new annoying habit where she attacks peoples faces, especially glasses.  We need to stop this habit before I loose an earlobe (apparently earrings are also exciting to pull on).

After all the fun Addison was completely tuckered out.
