Zion, Bryce Canyon, Moab, Colorado Road Trip

I went on a road trip with my stepdad Michael, my little sister Jasmine, and Ella in mid-May. We went to a bunch of beautiful National Parks on the way to Aurora, CO to visit Michael's grandma, aunt, and uncle. It was a LOT of fun! Our first stop was Zion National Park. It was BEAUTIFUL! I'd never been there before. I loved all of the mountains, streams, river, very friendly squirels!!! =), all the trees and flowers. My great grandpa on my mother's side helped build the tunnel pictured.












After Zion, we drove to Bryce Canyon. We spent the night in a hotel and then went site seeing the next day. We saw at least 3 different groups of deer while driving around the park. It was very pretty in the canyon. All of the rock formations were amazing to look at.











The next day we drove to Arches National Park in Moab. We drove around the park and took a look around. I loved that it was overcast. It felt really nice outside. Dave will have to go there with me sometime. When we went to Moab earlier in the Spring we didn't go to The Arches.














We spent the night at a hotel in Moab and then drove to Colorado the next day. We stayed at Michael's aunt's house in Aurora. The first night we went out to dinner at this cool restaraunt. It was a fried chicken place and I can't remember what it was called. It was soooo good =). The next day we went to a Colorado Rockies game. We lost but it was still really fun. Jasmine got to go out on the field before the game started and played kickball with the mascot and some other kids. That night we hung out with Michael's family, barbecued, and enjoyed each other's company. Michael's mom and stepdad, cousin, cousin's daughters, aunt and uncle, and grandma were all there.
