Justin, Aubrey, Claire and Mason: Zion National Park

Last weekend we drove to Zion Ponderosa, just outside the East gate of Zions for the weekend. We stayed in a great little cowboy cabin and my parents stayed in a tent, until they got a little cabin of there own. We spent all day Friday and Saturday hiking and exploring the park. Saturday we climbed Angels Landing! I have climbed it times before but this time was windy and quite chilly! My parents we so great that they took Claire down while Justin and I climbed to the very top!
Zion Ponderosa was a great place to stay! They have hot tubs a swimming pool, lodge, showers, a zip line, and horses. They even had little bloodhound puppies that Claire loved!
Claire did great and loves "hiking" in her backpack! She was full of "WOW"s and "Whoas"s! She was a trooper and even learned a new animal noise when we came across a snake. Now Claire can make the SSsss sound and knows when to use it! She is getting very smart! She now knows where body parts are: nose, ears, hair, eyes, teeth, belly, feet, hands and animal noises: cow, elephant, lion (or tiger), dog, snake and probably more I can't think of. Her new phrase that makes everyone laugh is "Oh, Gosh"! And she says it at the most appropriate times, its so adorable! I can't believe she is now 16 months old! She is getting smarter by the day and knows we can't leave the house without shoes and a jacket so she will bring both to me and wait by the door. Oh, I love that little girl! I know my life is so blessed by just having her around!
