Well, Christian has been begging to go camping all year and so we finally went over UEA weekend. It was a lot of fun, but such an ordeal!
We got everything packed and ready to go on Thursday night so we could leave early on Friday. We were taking Christians parents tailer so that we would have some warmth and electricity for Zachs pump. We left home at 10am and got went to pick up the trailer (we could only drive it during the day). When 
we got there, there was a problem with the electrical hookup and we didn't end up leaving until n
oon. Then we got stuck in traffic for over an hour near Provo. We finally got to our campground in Snow Canyon (by St. George) at about 7. By the time we got everything set up and ready to go, we decided we we
re going to drive into St. George and get some dinner. About this time Zach thought it would be a good idea to get sick. He spent the next 3 hours throwing up and having a horrible time. Now we were so frustated that we decided we were going to come home first thing in the morning. Luckily Zach slept well and woke up bright eyed and ready to play. We decided to give it a shot and took off for Zions. We stopped at a litte petting zoo/picture stop along the way and the boys had a blast feeding carrots to the goat, llamas, deer, and burros. There was a bunch of old tim
e buildings that you could take pictures in front of as well. After we left there we had a quick picnic at the park and then headed into Zions to hike. We spent most of our time on the Riverside Walk (a paved trail thats not to steep for the wheelchair). Josh insisted we stop and take pictures almost every 5 feet. When we had had enough hiking we drove back into St. George for dinner then went back to camp and roasted marshmallows.
On Sunday we got up early and headed out by about 10. We finally got to Christians parents (to drop off the trailer) at around 6. It was a lot of fun, but way to long to be stuck in a car with kids!
