sunshine

We got back from St. George on Sunday. It was sunny there. And hot. And it's cold and dreary here. I was hoping Utah would get all that bad weather out of it's system while we were gone and be beautiful upon returning. My hopes and dreams have been shattered.

ANYWAYS, we had a fantastic trip with the Simon fam! Our vacation was full of hikes, went to the Saturday Market there, went to the temple visitors center, the tabernacle, Brigham Young's winter home, shopping, swimming, volleyball, MEGA-settlers of catan (ask if you're interested :) haha), Rock-band, hot-tubbin' and just plain old FUN!!!

Here are pics (I'll just put descriptions with the pictures for further info on our trip and just to warn you they aren't in order very well :)):

The following pictures are of the petroglyphs hike we went on. Parker fell asleep in a VERY uncomfortable possition as you see. So SAD, yet hard not to laugh.







The following pictures are of swimming at the condo. Again, Parker fell asleep...poor little guy....



The following pictures are taken at the St. George temple and the fountain next to the Tabernacle:




The following pictures are of my FAVORITE hike-the RED CLIFFS hike. There were a bunch of natural waterslides in the rocks and some of us decided to DO IT (even though we didn't bring swimsuits)! It was a BLAST!! We saw tons of frogs there and jumped in water, slid into water etc. Wonderful time there.








The following pictures of are of the "Pioneer Names" hike:





Parker's first experience on the swings-he loved it!




I will soon do another post about all of Parker's milestones. He's grown up SO much in the last couple weeks and has a bunch of new tricks up his sleeve...I swear-every day he shows me a new trick and I'm having so much fun with it!
