We are in Zion National Park!

Sidney Kate has been dying to see a real cactus. We saw tiny patches of little ones so far but she wanted a big one. I wouldn't let her touch them.

We found this one after we parked. She touched it. She has something stuck in her finger. She touched it after Daddy did. When will they start listening to me?!

We found Moqui Caves! Since we have showered and are headed to dinner-we didn't get out to hike up and inspect them. But when reading about things to do in Kanab, I found a mom who posted about finding them.

Enjoy her blog. http://www.saltproject.co/blog/moqui-caves-kanab-ut

Maybe next time we come this way. 😊

Exploring Kanab for a good dinner spot.

The red rocks are surely wallpaper to those that live here-much like trees to us. But as a visitor it's just wow to drive through.

We finished our big plans for the day before 9:00. So we started looking around Page for something different to do.

Glen Canyon Recreational Park is here and accepts this fabulous 4th grade pass!

So we spent a few hours on a beach. In Arizona.

The girls were "dying" to send some shots of them hanging from cliffs to the grandparents.

We captured their life saving events.

Horseshoe Bend was a hike and great view. And so scary because of the cliffs.

The canyons were such a great thing to see. This is a must. The Lower Antelope Canyons are V shaped and had a ton of light early. The Upper Antelope Canyons are A shaped and would have been super dark.

Our guide noted these were the best for light, longer, and cheaper. We chose well!

More great shots!

Some Star Wars character - Freeman's will know.

Death Vader.

Seahorse.
I took so many pictures.

These are all shots that were sold for mega bucks or just really neat images.

Goldfish. (SKV sees a camel laying down-I can see that too)

Lower Antelope Canyon - Ken's Tours. Best tour ever!

Our guide Tyler was amazing! He set everyone's cell phone cameras and big cameras before we went in. Wow!

So the canyons are all under ground and we're formed by rain water. No other water gets in these canyons. Flash floods will kill people in here as they travel 50-75 mph. Scientists tried to put go pros in the walls to capture the floods. Six were put in. All were torn off the walls from the speed of the waters. Only one was found. At the bottom of Lake Powell.

Wow.

The holes you see to the left of the stairs are how you would have toured in the 80s and before. A rope for your hands and holes for your feet.

These are the second set of stairs as a great flood in the late 90s tore the first set off-all 11 or 13 sets.

We are waiting for our tour. The wind is blowing and it's cooler. We read that it's 5 degrees cooler in the tour. They close these canyons when it gets too hot so who thought we would need to bust out some long sleeves?!

Kevin said, "You'll be fine when you get walking." I asked, "Have you met me?!"

Needless to say, Mommy went digging for long sleeves for the girls.

It's totally natural to wake up at 5:00 am and go hiking.

We are due at 6:00 for our tour of Lower Antelope Canyon at 6:30.

It's 5:45 now and the sun has been up a good bit.
