Grafton

On the way up to Cannonville last weekend we decided to stop in the little town of Grafton. Grafton is an old ghost town where LDS settlers once lived. Its right outside of Zion and a very neat place to visit

This house is where they filmed "Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid." We love that movie so we were excited to see it. Back in the day some hippies lived in it and wrote stories and poems all over the walls. The park service is fixing it up and you can't go inside anymore. It looks really good but it would've been cool to go inside and read all the stories!

I love this picture. Dustin has been playing with our cameras settings and is becoming quite a photographer! That's Estefan in the corner.

Old farm life... There were cows grazing all over the fields and some came near the car. Estefan thought it was the coolest thing ever. Hey, cows are pretty cool!

The view of the mountains is beautiful. I could've stayed in Grafton forever!

Estefan and Allie standing outside the church/school house. You can't go inside it either, but there are little steps up the side where you can peak in the windows. The kids loved looking in and playing on the steps. It was so fun to stop here and stretch our legs for a bit. Then we headed up the mountain to Zion. It was dark by this time so I couldn't really see anything but driving through the mile long tunnel was fun. All the park rangers were gone so we got in for FREE! Also there weren't any other cars on the road so we stopped and looked out of all the windows cut through the sides of the tunnel. It was a good trip up, the kids slept pretty much the whole way after that and Dustin and I got to just talk. Car rides are good for that reason you are forced to talk or be bored. We have some of our best conversation just cruisin!
