St. George and Zion National Park

I so badly need to catch up on my blogging! So I may keep this a lot shorter and go into less detail than I normally would. (Some of you are probably breathing a sigh of relief.)

We went to St. George a couple of weekends ago where we met up with my sister Erin's family. Drove to Zion National Park and hiked the 3-mile Emerald Pools hike all the way to the upper falls with a 20 lb. baby on the front of me. Go me!
Beginning of the hike -- Kids with their cousins

Despite being heavy, Lyndsee was a good baby for the hike and even napped a little.



I had never done this hike with my kids before so it had been a while. DO IT if you haven't done it lately. It was so cool and beautiful and the waterfalls seemed to be at their peak.

My "not so little" family.

Swim time at the condo is always a favorite part of a trip.

Lyndsee's first time in a swimsuit preparing for a dip in the kiddie pool.

We visited the Jacob Hamblin home in Santa Clara which even my small children found very interesting and played at the water feature in downtown St. George near the Tabernacle. We had a picnic in the park on the new quilt my sister Dawn made me and watched the kids play and nap. I really need to post more pictures as I think about this trip so don't be surprised if you see more to come. We had more fun than 10 little pictures can depict!
