Last weekend, we met my MIL and FIL, and BIL and SIL with their family up at Zion National Park. To say it was beautiful would be the understatement of the century. After the dry, brown desert that is Las Vegas, it was so nice to see so many colors and so much life.
We met Pam and Richard, and Patrick and Susan and their kids at about 10am in Springdale, Utah. We got checked into our motel and while Patrick and Susan got set up in their camp site, we went out to lunch with Pam and Richard. Then, we went into the park. Zion has a real cool set up. You just park the car and get on one of the shuttles that run every 6 minutes. The shuttles stop at 7 locations throughout the park. They tell you about the park and all the different sights. And you can get off and on whenever and wherever you want. Zion is AMAZING! There is no way to describe how colorful and vibrant everything is. You cannot look at the wonder and beauty of Zion and not KNOW there is a Divine Creator. No way did all that just... happen. (I will have to come in and post pictures later. My regular camera has decided to make everything grainy and fuzzy, and I am electronically challenged when it comes to the video camera.- I can't figure out how to get the pictures off!
That night, we all gathered at Patrick and Susan's campsite. It was the perfect venue to end the day. We played cards, roasted marshmallows, and told stories on one another. OH! I totally got vindicated during one of these stories! somebody had told a story about one of the kids getting hysterical about some silly thing and Ty decides he can one-up them. He starts to talk about how last night, he wanted to go out and check some things out in front of the house and I started freaking out. I was bawling and begging and my eyes were bulging and it was just so funny. Everybody was getting a good laugh until I butted in and said, "Oh no you don't!" And preceded to tell them about the 3 gunshots, 20-30 kids with big sticks, cars zooming away, and lots of yelling. You should have seen Pam's face! She went as white as a sheet and stared at Ty open-mouthed. Needless to say, Ty was humbled. Score one for me!
