Day with Zeni's and Granny

Today we packed up and finished our hike to Kalob Arch. At the arch we made breakfast (oatmeal). We then hiked back to the car.
When we got to the car we called Aunt Cindy and she said she had made us sandwiches ..yummm! we were both really excited about lunch meat (aka- stuff that you can't have back packing)
We met the Zeni's and Granny at the entrance to Zion national park and had a picnic there. Afterwards we hopped on the Tram and did three short hikes:
River Walk (this followed the narrows (which Jeff and I had thought we were going to hike- ummm- rapids! we could not have walked through the narrows)

Lower Emerald Pool

Canyon Overlook (my favorite of the hikes)

Afterwards we went to dinner at a nice Mexican restaurant. Jeff and I were so hungry we ate about 5 baskets of chips between the two of us : )

After the Zeni's left it was kind of late and we still didn't have a place to stay. I called one campground who said the rate was 30 dollars a night! This was out of our price range : )
So we stopped and talked to a park ranger. We asked where the cheapest camp place was and she looked at us kind of funny and said...well what about the free land? She told us how to get to the free land (which was only a couple miles away) It was perfectly fine just no running water. We quick set up tent and feel asleep instantly.
