Zion National Park

We spent Sunday (yesterday) in St. George. We attended church in the home ward of Elder and Sister Edwards, a missionary couple who served for 18 months in Buffalo. (It turned out that we are staying just across the Interstate from there.) They have been back for just a week and they spoke in Sacrament Meeting. The ward's meetings start at 12:30, which was nice since we have been sleeping in late. It being Mother's Day, the ward gave a gift to each of the sisters, a copy of the Gospel Art Book. (I wish I had thought of that.) The Edwards talked us into having dinner with them after church and we had a good time.

It was hot in St. George and Zion NP today... in the 90's. Most of our sight seeing was from the shuttle bus stops.

Temple of Sinawava:

Riverside Walk:
Controlled burn between The Grotto and Zion Lodge:

We had lunch at the Zion Lodge. The Checkerboard Salad was generous enough that you couldn't hardly finish it all.

Court of the Patriarchs:
Tonight, we are spending our third night in the St. George Best Western Abbey Inn.
