Over Mother's Day weekend we embarked on my 5th Ragnar Trail Zion. (I didn't run it last year, but still went, so I'll count it.) ;) There was rain in the forecast, but we hoped it would pass by or not rain too much. Unfortunately Ragnar waited until everyone to arrive before they did a weather cancel. Lucky for us, we Zion NP and turned it into a fun family vacation.
Since we couldn't run a race, my team decided to hike to Angel's Landing on Friday. I didn't realize it would take all day when I ditched my family. ;) I also didn't realize that I have a big fear of heights. I started on the ascent but didn't get too far before I imagined plummeting to my death. Had there not been a lot of people on the trail I would have been fine, but I didn't like the idea of letting go of the chain for others to go around me. After going back to the start of the final ascent I caught up with Robyn and we took a different trail that still gave us some great views.
Mike and the kids stayed at the resort and swam. We met up for dinner. Zion Ponderosa fed everyone for free since they'd bought food to feed thousands of runners.
On Saturday we went to Zion and went on the Canyon Overlook Trail. It was sketchy in a couple parts, but the perfect distance for our kids. We brought a pack for Audrey but she didn't like it, so Mike carried her the whole time. My team did the same hike as us and we saw them as they were finishing up. We had to snap a picture of course. ;)
The kids always think it's hilarious when Audrey makes her pooping faces. This one took so much work it escaped her diaper and ran up her back. I told Mike he has to hold her up when she's doing it to avoid the blowout. ;) I'm also including her pooping pics from Thursday evening.
After the hike the kids went on the zip line. This was Adam's first year doing it and I was very proud of him for trying it.
