Window to Zion

While on our recent vacation to Zion National Park, we let the kids each buy a poster. Spencer picked this HUGH poster and had me hang it at the bottom of the stairs tonight.

After it was hung Spencer said; "it looks like a window with Zion Park outside our house".

Come To Zion

This past week was spring break for the kids. This year we decided that it would be a great time for a vacation. You see spring in Star Valley is 'snow' much fun! We picked a warmer clime to spend a few days. We decided to go to Zion National Park. Some how we talked Ashley into coming along. We met up with Ashley, in Ely, at Grandpa and ma Howes' house. From there we traveled to St. George and Zion.




Along the way we stopped at the Salt Flats. The boys seem to have a blast each time we take a break on the Flats.








Near Panaca Nevada we stopped for a break at Cathedral Gorge. It was sunny, but windy.
