Zion National Park

2 weeks ago we went down to Zion's with the usual gang (my family & Whippermans). We stayed at the Zion Ponderosa Ranch which is near the east entrance to the Park. We had a great time and were able to relax. On Friday we went into the park and hiked Angels Landing. This hike is about 5 miles round trip and is not for those that are afraid of heights. Here are a few pics from our weekend getaway.

At the ranch, there was a small petting zoo with horses, ducks, goats, chickens, bunnies and a few other things.


Kip claimed that he could catch this rooster and put it to sleep. I guess that it was something he learned how to do when down in Paraguay. He did catch it and put it to sleep. Once you catch the rooster you tuck it's head under it's wing and move him in circles. After a few seconds of that he laid him down on the ground and the rooster was asleep. He slept until Kip woke him up. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen!


Here you can see how narrow it gets at the top!

Anna was very good the whole hike, she loves being in the back pack. But when we
were done, she decided to have a little tantrum and lay in the middle of the street.

Looks like you had a great time. I bet it is the perfect time of year to be down there.
