St. George Trip

My niece who lives in St George was going to be baptised. So after some finagling I was able to hitch a ride with my Sister-In-Law and head down to the sun city of Utah.

We left Thursday night, missing the kids' first soccer practice. We made it to the "Nut House" around eleven or midnight, unpacked the car, watched a little TV, then  headed to bed.

Friday morning we decided to get up, have some breakfast and then head out to hike Zion's National Park.


 
To get to the hikes we had to get on a bus and they would drop us off at the certain hikes. Jennifer was our guide.
 
Our first stop/hike was the Upper Emerald Pool which is 3 miles roundtrip. 
 





 
The next stop/hike was the Weeping Rock. This hike is 1/2 a mile round trip.
 





 
Bubba relazing for a few minutes.
 
 
The last stop/hike was the Riverside Walk. This hike was the most peaceful, easy hike of the day. This hike is 2 miles round trip. 
 





 
 
By the end of the day, this little girl was tired. We stopped in Hurricane to Wendy's,then headed back to the nut house. It was a really fun, but tiring day.
 
Saturday was Sadie's baptism. We all woke up early, got ready, and headed into St George. The ceremony was nice as well as the speakers. 
 



 
After the baptism, we headed to Aspen's to change then headed to a beautiful park with a splash pad. It was really nice seeing the girls and getting caught up on how everyone was doing. We spent the rest of the day with cousins and headed back to the nut house about 9pm. What a tiring day.
 
Sunday came and I was anxious to get back home to see my hubby and cute kiddos. Getting home would not come fast enough. Finally we headed home around 2:30 and made it by 8 with a few stops here and there.
 
Although it was a quick trip it was a really fun trip. Spending time with Tawnie, Jason and their kids, as well as Jennifer. Then seeing Aspen and her girls. Next time Jeremy and the kids will have to come with.
