Two in one week...WHOA!


Kati here..not sure if this was supposed to be part of the previous post or what. AND who knows if I've mixed up the pics.  I'm not the best at managing the blog or coordinating with my mom.  Take it at face value...they had a great day :)  
 
It was our p-day today and we headed up to Kolob lake.  We tried a couple of weeks ago and was stopped by snow.  There is another road from Zion Natl' Park so we decided to try the back way.  But when we turned off the highway, it was under construction.  Maybe the third time will be the charm. So we decided to keep going and drove up over Zion through the tunnel, then came back and went to Grafton, a ghost town.  From Grafton there is a road called the Smithsonian Back Byway.  It was the first road into Zion and goes over the mountain into Colorado City.  It was a lot of fun.  There is a hill called "cry baby hill".  Very steep and very rocky.  I didn't cry, but I yelled.  I think it should be  named "mad as he-- hill."  But as soon as you reach the top of the hill, the road was great.  Just that darn hill.
 
Here are a few pictures of our fun day.  Not sure why this part of the country holds so much magic for us, but we love it and love discovering more and more fabulous places to visit.  We are headed to Kodachrome Canyon next p-day with the Burt's.  Stay tuned for the narrative and pictures.
