On to the pictures:
Lauren and Carrie, waiting for the bus. Lauren loved the bus. Well, at least at the beginning she loved the bus.
Clark and Clint, checking out The Narrows. We did the Riverside Walk, and Lauren walked most of the way. What a good little hiker!
The Shaefer Family (in the dark [hey, I didn't say they were good pictures]).
Lauren by the river.
Julia on her first hiking adventure. It's amazing how many people thought we were so incredibly brave to bring our not-yet-2-month-old baby out hiking. But really, we're not brave, we're lucky. Julia is such a good baby, I can't say that enough. Oh, and notice that she is well clothed. I was too chicken to call the pediatrician and ask if you can use baby sunscreen on children less than 6 months old. I'll ask about it at her 2 month check-up.
Clark, gazing upon the river. I think he looks kind of mountain man-ish in this photo. Except for the baby strapped to his chest.
Some pretty flowers. I loved that these guys were everywhere, growing out of the sides of the canyon.
We also hiked up to Weeping Rock, and Lauren splashed in all the puddles. I guess a lot of other tourists were taking pictures of her, because she's so dang cute. It would appear that I didn't get a single shot. Oops. Oh, and we ate lunch on the grass in front of Zion Lodge.
And here are the 2 little girls. Yay for cousins!

Sunday we went on a tour of Clark's work, and then to the park next to the library, where Lauren had a blast playing in the fountain. Oh, and we had Frito Taco Salad, a Blockburger classic! We had such a great time with them, and can't wait to see them again in July - along with the rest of the Blockburger clan - in Colorado!

Of note: it was hard to get Lauren to lay down on the blanket next to Julia. Not because Lauren wouldn't lay down, but because she wanted to lay don on the baby. Apparently her parents need to work on the concept of "next to" vs "on top of". =)
i think we need to make a trip out to zion soon. it looks so fun.
glad you guys found a carrier that works well. Good call to go with extra clothes instead of baby sunscreen. =)
This is Lizzie again, I'm going to comment on your posts :) It looks like it was fun~ We took our baby girl, Jade hiking at Arches NP when she was 2 months old. Way to go, get the baby outdoors as early as possible! Sunscreen only says to ask a Dr. bc companies don't want to pay to have an extra group of ppl (under 6 months) tested for safety. Usually the Dr.'s say it's safe, but to make sure you do a patch test for sensitivity first. But good call, I would rather put clothes on the baby than sunscreen anyway- it's just safer!
