Easter Weekend


After our super fun visit and night at The Steve And Pamela Hotel, we went on the JEM trail with one of Dave's good friend from High school.This trail is by far my favorite, especially when you shuttle the uphill ;) I was so happy at the end of the trail because we were talking to a guy who had just finished the trail. He had a camera on his head and you could tell he was pretty good. He complimented me on taking the drops and said he saw a lot of girls and people walking them. I was so glad to hear that. Dave and Jarom are just way better than me so... anywho. It was a blast.


After a short hike and a good dinner in Zions we camped on Dave's new pads, they are as wonderful as he's let on to. Then when we woke up there was the Egg hunt. It was sooo fun to have two kids doing this. Plus it was kinda fun to set the eggs out. Lauren kinda made a good haul.


Here is Lauren just sulking on a rock. This girl, I have no idea why she was sulking but it kinda just cracks me up how much spice she has.


After we packed up camp, we went to hike Angels Landing. I'm glad I did it... but... it might be awhile since I do it again. It killed my knees and I'm pretty sure I strained my groin, yes i said groin. ;) This is the mountain we hiked. Yep, to that very tippy top.


This is part way up the hike. It was so beautiful. Dave had so much energy it was amazing. He packed Lauren 1/2 way up this trail. I know!!! I couldn't even keep up with him. It's the poles right?


Dave used his multipurpose poles, so cool I know it looks super old foagy, But.. I wished I had some. Plus people all the way up and down were saying things like, "hon, you take the guy out and I'll take his poles." I think I wasn't the only one wishing i had poles.


This was the switchbacks and they were steep!!!



This was one of the pictures Dave took and I edited over looking the peak. The last "half mile" is so not a half mile and it's really kinda scary. It just drops off and I just had to keep looking right infront of me. Plus it's kinda a climb. But... isn't this pretty?
