i don't get to go to zion or places like this very often because i'm not keen on hiking by myself. so i found a friend, james, some day in july to go with, and his kids. we "hiked" the river walk and the kids seemed to have a good time. jorel had a kid from day care recently pass away in the river - what is with all of these deaths lately :( - and he was saying how he was scared to fall in the river. i felt bad for him, but when we got down to the river, he played in it a little bit. he was nervous a lot of the way so i tried to explain to him that if he stayed on the trail he would be okay. he kept wanting me to hold him, but he made it pretty good. it just broke my heart. we had lunch after and took a look around the gift shop, because the boys wanted to. (i was out numberd on this trip 5 to 1). jorel actually got warn out for once. it was a nice day, not too blasted hot but man, oh man, were there a lot of people in zion that day! and that is why you shouldn't go to zion on a saturday during the summer....
