Big Dan's Birthday



Yesterday was Dan's Birthday. I drove back to St. George to be with him on his big day, as I have been in Provo. I told him he gets to pick the restaurant and a movie of his choice and that I would even go on a hike with him!! Well, he was so excited that I would go on a hike of his choice, minus Angels Landing (as I love that hike but it kills my knee's) that he about flipped out! He immediately wanted to head for Zion and soon we were off.


Weeks before his Birthday he told me he wanted the movie "Eiger Sanction" with Clint Eastwood for his Birthday present. Well it is sooo old I could not find it anywhere but on Amazon.com. It's from the 70's. He was so excited to watch it last night after we got home from Zion.
It is about rock climbing of course. It's a little cheesy because Rock climbing is so much more advanced then it was in the 70's I was laughing at the gear they had back then.


We decided to go on the Canyon Overlook Trail
Is Dan happy or what to be hanging out in this place for his big day!
He was running and jumping all over the place. Seriously he was just like a little boy at Disneyland!!
























This was taken at the Overlook!



Us just
hanging out in Zion!


After the hike we went into Springdale and ate at the Pizza Noodle. I now LOVE the bar-b-que chicken pizza there. It was YummY to say the least!
I surprised Dan with some chocolate cake from Magleby's in Provo. Well, that was gone in about 10 seconds. I should have got some just for me!
It is the best chocolate cake I have ever had.
I think Dan had a very Happy Birthday it was fun watching him be so happy. I think that no matter how old guys get they are still little boys inside!

HaPpY BiRtHdaY DaN!!
