S'mores and Karaoke!

We realized today that we must modify our route. We cannot make it to all the places we had hoped. It made the most sense to drop Bryce and that was hard for Gary. We had not been able to get reservations there anyway, and had no place to stay this holiday weekend, so we decided to head right to Zion. We held small hope of finding an actual campsite but knew we had to get as close to Zion as possible. I had printed and taken along some camping info for that area even tho we had decided not to use it. That was a God-thing. I made one call and a kindly man made room for us at 5 pm on Friday night of the Memorial Day weekend. We thanked God for this provision. It had been a rough day up to this point and we were way off on our time. It was encouraging to have a place to go.

As we drove we planned our own bbq that nite for our Memorial Day celebration. This would be the first time to have our bbq out this trip. The scenery was so beautiful as the canyon rock appeared and the late evening sun lit it splendidly.

This resort was wonderful: clean, well cared for, lots of families. Taryn was thrilled and immediately put on her roller blades and went out to meet “friends”. She was back in minutes having been invited to a camp party with s’mores and Karaoke!…and could she please sing something?? After our burgers we headed down there and she signed up to sing “Home on the Range”. It was all quite a kick hanging with families we didn’t know singing Karaoke. Unfortunately Taryn’s name did not come up before camp quiet time did, so she was not able to sing. She was very sad. We ended our evening watching an episode of “Death Valley Days” which was also a riot.
