Petrified Forest

Our last stop before home was the Petrified Forest National Park. It was really interesting to walk around and see all of the trees that are now hardened crystals. We were able to learn why the trees turned to crystals and we were also able to go on walks around some of the main places where trees have fallen. It is weird to think that this now desert used to be wetlands!

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon was our second National Park to stop at. We only spent like 2 hours there because we got there right before sunset. It was absolutely breathtaking! Enjoy the pictures!

Zions National Park

This was our first stop on our way back home. We didn't really spend too much time here, just enough to drive through and stop and take pictures every once in a while! Even though we didn't go on any hikes, it was still a gorgeous place! We are so glad we were able to go through!

update

So I realized that I haven't updated this blog since we got back to Arkansas over a month ago! It's about time! On our way home we went to 3 National Parks, so I will upload pictures from each one. We had such a nice time being home. We were able to spend time with family, go to the pool and lake, and enjoy a break from school!

Arkansas

We made the long trip back to Arkansas. After:

*4 days in the car

*7 states

*3 National Parks

*2000+ miles

*36 hours driving...

we are home and loving it!

We are...

And we hope that you are too!

Cinn-tastic Yummy Bread

So I found this recipe and it looked good, so I thought I would try it. Little did I know, it would be amazing! I made two loaves (half of the recipe) and they were gone in a day and a half! They were fairly quick and easy to make. If you have a little time and like cinnamon, try it!

You can find the recipe and others here.
