Bryce and Zion

Today was an interesting day. Who knew we would see snow in June?

It was 34 degrees at Bryce Canyon today, and the wind was gusting so hard, it was almost unbearable. Of course, I did not pack a jacket, so I decided I could brave the weather in a long sleeved t-shirt. Ha! I am now the proud owner of a Bryce Canyon sweatshirt. Travis has decided he is no longer going to listen to my advice, since when we were packing, I told him, "No, don't pack a jacket. It's the desert. It's going to be HOT!" I stand corrected.

So after a cold morning at the beautiful canyon, we headed back to Zion to see the emerald pools. They were really nice, and we saw some buffalo on our way to the park!

We've seen quite a bit of wildlife in the past two days - lizards, buffalo, turkeys, antelope, deer, chipmunks, squirrels, and small children.

We ate dinner at the very rustic looking place right next door to our B&B. The food was awesome. Travis ate rocky mountain oysters. Yep, that's right. First bugs, now balls.
