The Shepherd Family Annual Superbowl Weekend

Between being busy and being sick time slips away! I haven't posted St. George and Zion pictures yet (other than the previous Cousin Conspiracy) so a little late but better than never:

One of my favorite things about driving out of Las Vegas into the desert is you usually see some cool planes from the air force base. This time we saw more than we've ever seen at one time before!! St. George About 45 minutes to an hour away from St. George is Zion National Park- One of the most awesome places I have ever been to. It rivals the Grand Canyon in my opinion and it's so massive you could visit it over and over again and always see a new spot. I couldn't capture the magnificence of it in photos. Driving up to it: At this point you begin to feel like a small bug with the mountains towering over you. We followed a road up to a tunnel. The family stopping for photo ops. The tunnel: Built from 1927- 1930. Read more about it here. We stopped at the end of the one-mile tunnel for a hike. "Grandma" and Bryanna pose for a picture. Group picture minus Renee who was taking it! On our hike we went through cool overhangs... Over scary bridges.... And finally almost there! Made it! Dad was brave. Don't look down! Kevin threw some rocks and we counted between 7 and 11 seconds before they hit and echoed in the canyon. Bree was tired and didn't want to look for the picture. The kids all did so well for such a big hike!
