Zion Camping

Lauren and I had fall break last Friday and Monday, so we went to Zion's National Park and camped. It is only about an hour from where we live, so that is nice. The leaves were changing to yellow, it was cold in the morning and night, hot as we hiked. We hiked to Angel's Landing, only I forgot my shoes, had to buy new ones, got blisters like I have never had before! Ouch! It was worth it, though, as Angle's Landing is cool and we even were circled by an almost extinct condor. That was cool! We had to move from one campground to another, so rather than take the tent down, I stuck the tent with the poles out the window of the car, which embarrassed Lauren immensely. Kyle came for a few nights, which was nice as he came with a hammock and swinging chair which was fun, and also taught me how to use the camp stove, which I had a hard time with. Lauren liked having both her "weird" parents there. Here are some pictures:

Ok. never mind. I am sick of waiting for our slow internet. I'll load the pictures when I have more patience.

You are so lucky to live near Zions National Park. Hiking & camping sounds like fun over there.
I can't believe Lauren is in 8th grade already.
