Jess took us south over the weekend for Isaac\u2019s 8th<\/sup> birthday.\u00a0 We started in Bryce Canyon then ended up in Zion.\u00a0 In Bryce we just did a short loop due to Adams short legs.\u00a0 It\u2019s really fun to watch the kids get excited when they see things like this.\u00a0 If you have never been to Bryce before, the place looks like another planet and is beautiful in the early morning.<\/p>\n

I have been to Zion 5 or 6 times over the years and have never been able to hike the Narrows, due to weather.\u00a0 This time we made it our mission to be able to do it.\u00a0 It was a great hike through the narrow canyon up the Virgin River.\u00a0 Isaac made short work of it leaving us behind.\u00a0 The water was a bit too deep for Adam; Jess carried him over the water and let him walk when there was a beach.\u00a0 She did this most of the way; I offered to trade her my camera gear for him but she declined saying she would rather it be me who fell in the river damaging my equipment than her.<\/p>\n

On the way out I stopped to get a photo of a waterfall that I had spotted on the way in, Jess and the boys went ahead.\u00a0 I hung out waiting for the sea of Germans to part so I could get my photo, it took me maybe thirty minutes to snap a couple of photos.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I tried to hurry down the paved trail to the bus stop where everyone would be waiting.\u00a0 I hate making them wait for me and my addiction to taking photos. Surprisingly, they were still on the path and I was able to catch up with them.\u00a0 When I met up with them Jess asked me if I had noticed her feet, I said no as I looked down to see that her ankles and shoes were covered in blood. Jess said she was as surprised as I was, she didn\u2019t feel a thing until some lady came up to her and asked if she needed any help.\u00a0 Jessica also said that it looked a lot worse than it felt so I didn\u2019t feel bad getting some photos before she cleaned here ankles and bandaged them up.<\/p>\n
