Zion Cacti

 I grew up in Southern California and so I grew up round cacti. Wyoming has cactus to but it is not near as pretty as this!! I just had to take some pics! 

Zion National Park

 I finally crossed an item off my bucket list- I took my boys hiking in Zion National Park! This national park is dear to my heart because my grandpa is one of three people who were born in the park!! Campsite C1 of the Watchman Campground still has the cement pad of his home's back porch (show later down in the photos!) I got to camp in C2 where his family garage used to be! So exciting to camp out under the looming Watchman mount and to stand under the black pecan tree that my grandpa planted as a boy.... one of only two trees that remains of the vast orchard his family used to have in the Watchman campground area. It has sure changed since he was born 88 years ago! 

and of course the best laugh.....
