Day 2--More Zion...

Officially Jr. Rangers
Enjoying the cold river
We went back to Zion this morning to do some more hiking and wading in the river. We did several short hikes:  the Grotto to the Zion Lodge, Lower Emerald Pools, and Pa'rus Trails. Along the Grotto hike we saw several deer right next to the path. The kids loved that! We went wading and swimming in the river. It was very cold, yet definitely refreshing in the 100 degree heat. We took a little break from hiking at the Zion Lodge, where we sat in the shade on a bench and drew pictures of the scenery. The kids became Zion Jr. Rangers, complete with the "swearing in". In the early afternoon, we got back on the road and drove to Provo, Utah, where the kids are once again in the pool. Tomorrow is a long drive to the Grand Tetons.
