One day of our family reunion was spent in Zion National Park. We all wore our reunion shirts, Harry Potter themed and divided into houses. We embraced our Hufflepuffiness.
Funny (embarrassing) story. We parked in town and caught a bus into the park. As we were about to load into one fairly full bus, another pulled up behind, so we decided to switch. As we settled into bus two and the first bus pulled away, we realized one of my nephews was on the first bus! Never fear, the bus drivers could communicate and at the next stop, Sean's dad ran over to the first bus. The following stop was the park. As we unloaded, we realized Grey was on the first bus too and we hadn't even realized. Oy. That's the thing about matching shirts, it's great for picking out members of your group but not for finding individuals. Eep.
We all had lunch together and took family photos, then everyone could hike wherever they pleased. We went up the emerald pools trail.
Wren was not particularly interested in staying with the group so I stayed back with her. Until she filled her diaper and I had to hustle up to everyone to get a diaper.
Yellow everywhere!
We found the emerald pools (one of them maybe?) along with some tadpoles!
Then we dipped our toes
And fingers.
And thighs.
Grey was king of the world for a few minutes.
Once we came back down, everyone played in the river and dipped their whole bodies. All kids were thoroughly soaked.
Zion National Park is pretty great and we'll have to come back some day!
