Zions Canyon April 2010

We gave away what was supposed to be our vacation week in Maui so we decided to take off to somewhere tropical...in Utah...and St. George / So. Utah was as close as we were going to get. We spent a whole day in Zions. I think next time we'll stay at the lodge. We went on all the hikes that we could take Jaxon on. He had a blast, but is too young to hike Angels Landing.
Me & Jaxon ready to hike the Emerald Pool Trails.
Jaxon & Dad.
Here's Jaxon showing us how tough he is. Of course, he has his famous "walking stick".
The Lower Falls.

Me & Jaxaroonies by the lower falls. April is the perfect time to visit Zions. Just watch for flash floods because they had a few while we were there. The weather is perfect though!
Not every parent would let their child take his shoes off and walk along the slippery, mossy, water about ten feet from a thousand foot water drop off... But we did. Jaxon had a blast. We kept careful eye on him and he played with the other kids above the falls.
The water was "freezing", said Jaxon!
See the underwear and shorts in the background! LOL, I told you there were other kids with their shoes off, and some with their pants off too!

"Boom, Boom, Firepower!"
Now there's a HOTTIE!

After Emerald Falls we went to Weeping Rock. It's a super easy, annoyingly easy hike, but what a beautiful site.
