Yesterday we enjoyed a hot day up at Snow canyon.  The rock formations here are beyond description. Pictures don't do justice. Today we headed up to Zion National Park, Nan's favorite - yes, even over the Grand Canyon. We took a shuttle up to the top, and started hiking down the Narrows. We didn't know that schools were on vacation today and the park was packed solid with families. That made it crowded on the narrow path. Nan was trying to get over far enough for the people coming and going and didn't notice a 3" drop off. Her foot rolled and down she went. The pain was quite unbearable and in an instant she had swelling the size of a jumbo egg on one side of her ankle. People were quick to run for help, but it seemed ages before the Park Ranger came with his first aid kit. Soon another Ranger came with a wheel chair. We got her back down to the shuttle and soon we were on our way to get her back here to St. George to a nearby clinic. She has broken her ankle and will get a permanent cast on Monday that she will wear for 6 weeks. She is devastated as she had so many plans for us while we're here. We are disappointed, too, but it shouldn't keep us from having a few games of hand and foot. She insists that Stan still take us to the Grand Canyon tomorrow and she will stay home. A friend will come over to be with her while we're gone. Go Red Sox!! Girls, loved the pictures of the Palin rally. I watched her speech on the WABI website. Also, Go Moose hunters!! You'd make Sarah proud. I know the girls will be happy to have their husbands back. See you next week. |
