Fun in the SUN


Here are some pics from our recent trip to St. George. We had a great time as a family and look forward to doing it again soon. We did a lot of swimming, went to Zions, and visited Jon's grandparents. It was a perfect trip.

Grandpa Kay took the kids for rides on his riding lawnmower.

Paige really loved the diving rings. She's getting more and more brave with her swimming.


Charlie had a ball too, especially digging into the cooler.
Yes, that's a Barbie life jacket. And yes, we do have a more gender appropriate one for him but he couldn't be talked out of this one. Safety above fashion, I guess.
The ice cream at Zion's was Jon's highlight. It was such a beautiful place and the weather was ideal. It felt like Heaven.

This is the hike we did, Lower Emerald Pool. It was easy and fun, even Charlie could do it. And it was beautiful.


We saw lots of animals. This deer let us get so close!
This squirrel was HUGE!
We tried but had no luck catching a lizard. Maybe next time.


Riding the shuttle was Charlie's favorite thing!
Grandma Jean
The kids loved picking peas from their garden.
Every night the kids were WORN OUT! (And we were too.)
This hummingbird was nesting on the back patio of Grandpa Kay and Grandma Jean's house. The nest was about the size of a golf ball. It was fun to watch.

  1. I CANNOT stop chuckling about Charlie's Barbie life jacket. Oh, if only we lived closer...he and Lyndon won't be the best of friends.

  2. Abbie loved Haily's birthday party. They have so much fun together. Also about Charlie's life jacket-it always goes that way at our house too. Jace cruised the neighborhood on his barbie scooter all the time. real men aren't scared of pink right? Also I love Zions. I haven't been in a while but I really like it there. Looks like lots of fun!
