Day 5 - When You Wish

We went to see When You Wish
at Tuacahn. It was AMAZING!
Some of our favorites were:
The real horses for Pocahatas and Snow White.
The water that flooded the stage for
Tarzan and again for Ariel.
The laterns they let go into the sky for Tangled.
Mary Poppins who came down from the sky.
Aladdin & Jamine,
who flew right above our heads on the magic carpet.
The fireworks.
It was such an amazing show!
 I am so glad we could take our 4 Princesses
to see so many Disney Princesses.
It was a memorable night!

Day 5 - St George

 One of the best parts of any vacation....the pool!

We spent a lot of time relaxing at the pool
and playing frisbee in the water!


Derrick Girls love the hot tub...even on a hot summer day.
We also played games at our condo.
 We went to see the movie Minions. 
 It was a fun and relaxing day!

 There was plenty of room to spread out.
Check out Lucy's awesome bridgeback. Nice Lulu!

TUESDAY 
This was my favorite day of our Family Reunion.
 We hiked the Canyon Overlook Trail.
It was AMAZINGLY beautiful.
 Incredible views.

We love Zion National Park.
 We had a picnic lunch,
In the afternoon, we boarded a tram to
take us up to a different
area of Zion National Park.
 We hiked to the Lower Emerald Pool & The Grotto Trail.
I remember hiking this trail as a kid.
It was fun to be back in this beautiful place.
 I love how narrow this part is.
Ella & Lucy are AMAZING hikers!

 After a hot hike, the pool was the perfect
place to cool off. They had a fun waterslide.
We had a late dinner and awards.
