Spring Break....and a birthday boy! We couldnt think of a better place to spend them but Zion! We splurged and decided instead of camping, we would hike all day....then shower, and relax at the Cliff Rose Lodge & Gardens at night! It was heavenly!! We were up there for 3 days! We had a 2 bedroom suite..with the most incredible view from our porch! Did I mention we were right up to the river where the kids could play...and then there was a playground with lots of sand toys! We stayed out there for hours...! I could go on and on......
ANYWAY.. we were able to take the kids on some fun hikes. We had a friend take us to see some dinosaur tracks....(although when we got to the end it wasnt really kid accessible) But the hike was fun! Then we took them on another hike and checked out some petroglyphs. The kids liked that one too! Of course every rock was a slide they all had to climb and slide down...They are so fun! I dont think we couldve missed a thing with our 3 explorers checking everything out along the way! When we did the river walk the first day #2 child thought he was a ranger letting everyone know they needed to stay on the path...and not to feed the wildlife! It was pretty funny!
We went and got lunch in Springdale one day too....and of course some ice-cream!
Hope my now 7 year old had a happy birthday!!! We loved spending time together....it doesnt happen as much as we would like with crazy schedules! I think we found our new favorite spot though! We are already planning our next trip!
