Spring Break 2016

We were so excited for our Spring Break trip to St. George, Zion's, and Bryce Canyon. The warm weather was amazing and we had a lot of fun family time together.

We started out in St. George. We were there to watch the Bonneville Softball team play in a tournament. We went to a lot of games but it was great because it was warm and the park was fun with a fishing pond. Our hotel was nice with a great pool. We spent a lot of time there. Hayden celebrated his birthday by climbing up dixie rock, bumper boats, batting cages and dinner at Texas Road house. We tried Swig - it's not a favorite of the Jackson's. We should have tried Frostop. We visited Brigham Young's winter house and the temple grounds. We went and saw Brad and Whitney's new house they are building. We really had a great time.


Then we headed to Zion's Naitonal Park. The views were amazing. We loved the drive up the hill to the tunnel. The tunnel was amazing. Riding the buses weren't so bad - just crowded. We went on a lot of fun hikes. The emerald pool, weeping rock and the riverwalk to the Narrows. We loved playing int he water and watching the squirrels. We put a lot of miles on.








Mom and Hayden went on one hike by theirselves - Angel's Landing. It had great views and fun switchbacks. We made it to the part below where you have to go up a steep part while holding on to chains. It is really steep on each side. Hayden didn't like that part so we turned around. Scout's Landing was good enough for us. It was fun to go on a hike together. 
 





On the way home we went through Bryce Canyon. We had perfect weather all week until we made it there. We hit a snow storm. It was freezing but fun to jump out fast and see the amazing view.
