We stayed at a place on the east side of the national park called Zion Ponderosa Ranch.
We finally got a chance to use our new four wheeler, which the kids absolutely loved.
Zion Ponderosa Ranch has a very cool double decker swimming pool -- the perfect place to beat the summer heat. This is Jessica cooling off with Eden.
Madeline and Bailee had a blast swimming with fashionable baby Adrienne.
On Tuesday of our trip, Phil guided us on a slot canyoneering trip through Birch Hollow.
Me and the girls ready for some rappelling.
We did 10 rappels in all. Here's Emily on one of the longer descents.
This is Madeline in a very cool part of the slot. There were lots of smooth, narrow areas of the slot, carved by thousands of years of wind and water.
I like to hang like a bat from time to time.
Here's Jessica in an iconic spot at the end of the Birch Hollow trek.
Another shot a little closer up as Jessica is descending the rope.
On my way down.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, Joanne enjoyed a little R&R.
Joanne loved taking the little ones for rides on the four wheeler.
On Wednesday we took a little trip into Zion. We hiked up Zion Narrows to Mystery Falls, which requires some hiking in the Virgin River.
Baby Adrienne, letting me know what she thinks of me.
We had a lot of fun and it was a great place to go for a family get away, but late July is the wrong time of year to be in Southern Utah.
