Zion Ponderosa

Last weekend we spent the weekend down in Zion at the Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort.  It was SUCH a fun place!  We had this cute little cabin that had a little sitting area, bathroom and separate bedroom.  And it was really made out of logs!  :-)


We drove down there on a Friday afternoon.  That evening we checked in, played around our cute cabin and then drove through the park and had dinner.

Saturday was our fun day.  We went into the park and did the Emerald Pools hike.  We were just going to do the lower emerald pools trail but the kids were doing so good we did the middle and upper as well.  Aubrey was hilarious.  She hiked the whole time and was saying the funniest things!  She always wanted to climb big rock steps by herself and she hpped down all the steps like it was a game.  Brynley whined a lot about Caleb being "in front" and Caleb was a really fast hiker.  That about sums it up.








We played around our cute cabin before going on a Jeep Tour.  It was so much fun!  It was such a bumpy ride!  There was a lot of mud so we did a little slipping and sliding, too!



After dinner we sat in the hot tub.  They have a really nice pool area!  We dared Caleb to jump in the freezing cold pool.  We said we'd give him $5 if he did it.  He said he was going to but it took him FOREVER to actually do it.  He was trying to get used to it but we kept telling him that was not going to happen!  He kept saying the funniest things!  He had to "get all the courage" from everyone before he could jump.  Then when he was deliberating he said, "Let's go over all the safety issues here..."  Oh my goodness (shakes head).  He is definitely my child!!

On Sunday morning we took advantage of the fun activities to do at the resort.  Caleb and Brynley went horseback riding.  Caleb climbed the rock wall and Caleb and I went on the zip line.  There were so many things to do!

 

We had a great time and will likely be going back again some time.
