Friday the 6th {my birthday} we woke up bright and early to head south to Zion's. Our hope was to get a small hike in during the afternoon and pick up our permits for the Subway hike the next day. Just our luck that the sky was overcast, the parking lot was full so we parked in town and shuttled to the park. Finally met up with mom, dad and Ashley. We decided to hike the trail to the mouth of the narrows and see how the water looked. There were flash flood warnings that we had failed to pay attention to at the head of the trail. It sprinkled on us a bit as we made our way down the trail. I was in love with the richness of colors due to the rain and the overcast sky. It was gorgeous. Once we made it to the mouth of the narrows we all decided to give it a try. We didn't go very far but enjoyed ourselves. After the hike, we went to go get our permits. Unfortunately they weren't handing any out at the time due to flash flooding. We would have to wait til morning to see if we could get ours. For dinner we made our way into St. George and had Cafe Rio. My choice of course being the birthday girl. It was delicious as always. After dinner we went our separate ways for the night. We were so excited to check into our hotel and get comfy. A quick trip out for some water and snacks for the hike in the morning. Best part was when I grabbed my drink and went to put it in our cart.... and it wasn't our cart. Nanna and I laughed so hard. Mitch just shook his head at me. :) It was a wonderful day and sure glad I got to spend my birthday with my two favorite people!
