Zion

On May 28th Russell and I celebrated 13 years of wedded bliss in Zion's National Park...without the kids! We hiked and hiked for two days. I think we probably did 15 miles of trails. It was awesome. I loved spending time alone with my honey.

We want to bag some peaks this summer. So peak #2 we bagged was Angel's Landing (peak #1 was Squaw Peak last fall). I hadn't done that hike since I was 14 and it was a dozy. We started at 1:45pm in the heat of the day so I don't know if that was very helpful. But it was so much fun. Here is Russell holding onto the chain so he won't fall off of the mountain. :)

Here we are at the top. It was windy.

I am pointing to the ridge that we climbed across to get to the top. It was cool. What wasn't cool were the crowds. We had to wait in line to hike up and down at some parts. I liked Zion's but it was full of people.

This is me pointing to a squirrel on a rock. It was not scared at all, I probably could have touched it. They said that the animals are too used to being fed that they don't fear people anymore. In fact in 2003 a coyote stalked a kid and bit them. Crazy.

We did one trail called hidden canyon and came to this arch. It was cute.

I loved going away with Russell, it is nice to leave everything behind and be able to spend time with my best friend!
