We climbed to the top of this mountain!

What a beautiful place

Today we went to Zion National Park and fell in love with this beautiful place! We went on a pretty difficult hike up to the top of a peak called Angel's Landing! Vasili & Nicolas went all the way up. I stopped at the part where you had to hold on to chains in order not to fall off the 1200' drop down!~ Yikes! Every where you look you are surrounded by amazing huge colorful rocks lifting straight up to the sky! There is a beautiful river and trees and flowers and the sky was so blue! This is one of the MOST beautiful places in America!! You have to come visit if you haven't already! (it's just off Hwy 15 past Las Vegas!)

Tomorrow we will head out early toward Boise, Idaho to visit my sister Melinda and her husband Mark. We'll have about a 10-12 hour drive! It will be a long day, but we're looking forward to our time together!!

Well, thanks for checking in with us! We are so wiped out from our fun day in Zion! ~ Enjoy some pictures of us and red rocks!
