April 8

Does she look like she's having fun? Lauren is a great traveler.

This is my store, in Hurricane, Utah. Also in Utah are the Henry Mountains - but we're not going there. Have not found the Lauren anything yet...

Taking a break in the shade on the hike up. It was remarkably warm at Zion today. Trail's end - flash flood warning ahead! But not today - the skies were clear (see boss, I am working!). Posing near the river.

Lauren prepares to skip some stones into the river.

On the hike back down. The colors here are reminiscent of Canyon de Chelly, but not quite as awesome. This is our first visit to a canyon bottom. Kind of sobering when you read about 15,000 TONS of rock falling in one day. We saw nothing like that, though. Whew!
