We had the best time on this trip! The first day, we visited Brigham Young's winter home that they have turned into a museum. We are so Mormon, haha. Let's go visit a former prophet's house while on vacation! It was really neat though. I love seeing all the historical things. They had a lot of original furniture and stuff there. Also, people used to be really short. I don't think I would have even been able to sleep in that bed. I didn't get any pictures inside the house, but I got a few of all of us hanging out in the yard afterwards! We had to stop and feed the babies, and Em got to pick pecans and crack 'em, which was also really neat.

| Looking back at these, Maddie looks so tiny! Except her cheeks. They were huge. |
We also walked around the temple grounds. You almost can't look directly at the temple in the sunlight because it is so brightly white. It's beautiful against the red rock though!
On Sunday, we went to Zion's National Park, on a little hike through one of the canyons. I had never been to Zion's, and it was beautiful! Even in winter, with no leaves on the trees. I kept telling James that I would love to see it in the fall, when all the trees change color, to see all those pretty fall colors with the red mountain backdrop. I bet it's GORGEOUS. Zion's was fun! It was a little chilly, so we tried to bundle the babies up as best we could. My first major mom fail here - I forgot Maddie's jacket and warm blanket at the hotel (facepalm) so we zipped her up in James' hoodie and borrowed P's sun hat to hopefully keep her head warm. It worked though! She stayed toasty and even took a little nap.
On the way home, we drive through Las Vegas, and on the outskirts is a little lookout that overlooks a beautiful valley. I made James stop so we could look and take pictures! It was beautiful and Maddie definitely enjoyed getting out of the car for a bit.
