The second day we went to Angels Landing...not quite sure where the name came from, but for how steep it is and how many people they have had die from falling...maybe that's where it came from. We took my niece Nikki and nephew Zac with us. (Since we didn't take Aspen) and they got upset that we wouldn't let them go on the very tip edge of Angels Landing where you can fall off the mountain easily on either side. It's a very narrow tip top. Ah well...I didn't want to be the one held responsible for there death should they fall...it was steep and tough to climb, but you feel so great when you accomplish something like that. While there, we ate some lunch at the top, and watched as a squirrel climbed into someone's backpack and stole a bag out of it and ran off quickly. I laughed, it was rather funny to see how "Squirrly" they can be. (See pics below)
The third day, we went Tubing down a VERY rocky river. I thought it was just going to be relaxing floating in a tube...nope...I was wrong. It was hard, because it was so shallow and we'd get stuck on rocks. There was a huge group of us. We were up there with Ashtons mom, sisters, and lots of cousins and uncles and aunts.
The fourth day we went on a 3.5 hr horse ride...talk about a sore bottom! And I got way sunburned. It was fun, except I kept wishing my horse could go faster, but they train them well to go super slow...not fun for people who know how to ride horses.
That was about it. Overall, it was a great vacation, but I was exhausted when I got home. I don't think Aspen missed us much. Like I mentioned in my earlier post. When I did call her, she just let me know "I'm doin jus fine mom!" So I guess she was just fine. I missed her lots, but I didn't at all miss work. It was so nice to have a break. And not have to answer my phone at all.
Long post, I know...enjoy the pics!

Glad you had a good time! Really nice pictures, too!
Fun! I can't believe you took your nephew and neice up angel's landing. I've hiked it before, but it is pretty steep and scary. Glad you had some alone time with your sweety!
What a fun trip. Great pics. That squirrel really was enjoying the party, huh?
I am jealous that you actually have mountains to climb! Ohio is full of soo many trees that they look like mountains from far away and then once my excitement grows, I realize, NOPE! They are just more trees and flat land!
Love the pics! It's beautiful there!
