We had a very exciting trip to St. George, Utah and the surrounding sights last week to ring in the summer and boy did it feel like summer with temps in the high 90's to 108F. My aunt Julie came out from Iowa for the vacation and my friends Paul and Heather joined us for the first 3 days of our trip. Here are several pictures from our trip. Enjoy!
We arrived at our resort. Lots of room for me to spread my toys around but no stairs.
Looking out our back door to the pool. We spent a lot of time in there.
We took a day trip to Las Vegas. That town is very busy with so many things to see and do.
There's a reason why they call it the city of lights.
Pool time! Don't be fooled by this picture, I did not really spend much time in my floaty. I preferred to be held and bounced in the pool.
I also like to jump off the side of the pool, with a little help from mom or dad of course.
After some pool time we headed to a little higher ground in Zion National park for a day of hiking and seeing the canyon. What a wonderful place to spend time on my comfy ride. Thanks mom!
This is right beside the trail looking straight up. They call these these the hanging gardens since the vegetation grows right out of the rocks because of the water that seeps out of the rocks. In some places it is estimated that the water takes 1000 years to get from the top to the bottom. Dad had a hard time believing this little fact.
That ride is so comfy that I fell asleep on the walk up the trail.
We then went up another trail to the emerald pools. There were three and I am proud to say that we did them all. The trail got a little narrow in places.
The pools were emerald indeed.
Look at that color in the cliff wall. This wall must be at least 1,500 feet tall. Wow!
We also took a day trip up to Bryce Canyon. This was a little further than Zion but it was well worth the drive. This is called Inspiration Point. Appropriately named if you ask me.
Hold me tight dad.
What fun rock formations.
Desert moon on the rise. It was a lot more orange with the human eye.
We had such a good time in Southern Utah on our first vacation of the summer. Our next trip will be to Branson MO for grandma and grandpa E's 40th anniversary. I hope you all are having a fun summer and let me know what fun things your are doing.
Until later. Love,
Lydia
