Day 9

Wow what an amazing day! We got on the road early to get to Zion in time for our horseback ride. What an awesome experience! I found it right on the Zion website. I highly recommend it if you go. It was the boys’ first time riding a horse. My horse’s name was Sandy so I had to tease my sister😂 We finished the ride and did the Emerald Pools hike. We didn’t want to leave Zion and all agreed at some point in our lives we’ll come back to stay a few days. We headed to Bryce Canyon. We were tired and worn by the time we got there but pulled it together for one of the hikes. Luke picked it and he won the day😁 We did a switchback hike down to the bottom of the canyon…and then had to come back up😳 I made it the last quarter because Brad was pushing me from behind😂 So many amazing pics but most are on our good camera…here are a few good ones. Tucked in now at Green River and tackling Arches tomorrow . It’ll be in the 90s but determined to make it to the arch. We’ll be carrying multiple backpacks of water and Gatorade !
