This past week the family and I took a vacation. We haven't done anything official for the last several years. It's tough with little kids. We decided to take the kids camping at Zion National Park in Southern Utah. It was fun, but boy was I glad to get home!
The days were scorching hot, and there just wasn't much shade to be had. Hanging around camp wasn't as fun as it could have been because there was no way to escape the heat. And then the nights...we just about froze at night. I actually didn't mind so much but the kids sure did!
It was nice to have that unscheduled time & the break from our normal routine. And it made me appreciate my cozy home just a little bit more.
