Camping Day 3

Megan and Jared et al. had to head home early Saturday because Jared was working that afternoon. We stayed, and after taking down camp, headed back to Zion.

Where we made it up to Angel's Landing.

Just kidding. Leo and Ana made it to Angel's Landing, the rest of us waited at Scout's Lookout for them. Do you see Ana on Walter's Wiggles?

Here's a view down from Walter's Wiggles.

Yes, I realize I shouldn't post this picture of me. But a lady insisted she take a picture of Sebastian. Bare in mind that I had just made it up Walter's Wiggles and had carried Elena a little bit of the way too. Leo is amazing--he carried Elena quite a bit of the way.

Here's a view from Angel's Landing that Leo took.

And the other side.

Leo and Ana made it to the summit.

Sweet, eh?

I love that hike, I hiked it a couple years ago pre-kids or husband, and I was rather sad to be left behind, but I wasn't really going to try to take Elena over this trail.

Nor here.

Here's Angel's Landing from the side. It has a 1,200 ft (3,65.7 m) on one side and a 800 ft (243.8 m) drop on the other.

This is what Elena and Isabel did the whole time we waited for Ana and Leo--played in the sand.

Sebastian loved the sand too.

On the way back down. Ana loved it--she said it was her favorite hike ever. Elena, well, she did a lot better than I thought she would. At times, she ran up the trail, skipping and singing. And at other times she kept saying, "I can't take much more of this." Over and over again.

'

Here's another part of the trail.

Sebastian was happy to be out and walking once we were back at the Visitor's Center.

Ana studiously ignoring me.

These lovely caterpillar nests were everywhere. YUCK! Elena and Isabel were captivated though and kept stopping ever few feet to pick up one. Of course, Elena wailed whenever one was stepped on.

Anyway, with that lovely thought, we headed home, and stopped in Beaver for DQ. And all in all, had a wonderful time.
