Zions - July 2012

While we were in St. George, we took a trip to Zions for a day. We love to hike The Narrows in the heat of summer!

Gibson and Carter!

Getting ready to enter the river!

Carter, Paige and Gibson in the river! 

Brady and Caleb! 

Me and Gage! 

Carter and Gibson holding onto each other for balance.... 

... but they got in deep anyway!  I have a feeling it is cold!! 

These guys are getting to heavy to carry on our backs.  The next we hike The Narrows, they are going to have to be big enough to walk themselves! 

After the hike, we stopped and played in the river for awhile.

St. George - July 2012

Of course, we had a lot of fun just hanging out in St. George, itself.  

The day we arrived there was a HUGE rain storm.  I swear it was a hurricane!  It went on for over 45 minutes and caused a lot of major flooding in the area.  This is what the parking lot at our condo looked like after the storm.  It basically turned into a river! 


But the nice thing about summer (especially July in St. George) storms, is that it is warm enough to play in them!  Gibson and the boys had a blast in the rain and puddles! 

We finally just got in our swimsuits and played in the rain!  Here's Caleb playing with the rush of water coming out of the rainpipe. 

And Gibson and Gage playing with the rainpipe! 

They are just getting soaked!! 

The playground flooded and the kids had a ball playing in it! 




Of course, no trip to St. George is complete without a trip (or 2 or 3) to Irmitas!  Mmmm!  BEST Mexican food, ever!  

We got the majority of the family (minus Daryl & Brooke) together for a family portrait in Ancestor Square. 

We went to the outdoor water park one afternoon.  Unfortunately, it was VERY crowded and we didn't stay long.

And no trip to St. George is complete without a trip to Fiesta Family Fun Center, either!  I haven't ridden the go carts in years, so it was a lot of fun! (Dad and Carter are behind Gibson and I)


Courtney & Lukas and Casey & Paige! 

Brady & Gibson with Corbin & Carter right behind!


The bumper boats - I passed on this one! 


A RARE picture of my dad smiling (yes - that is a smile!)

Snow Canyon - July 2012

While we were in St. George, we went hiking in Snow Canyon twice.

This first hiking trip was on Caleb and Gage's birthday.  The heat makes it impossible to hike during the day, so we went really early in the morning.  Fortunately, there was some cloud cover that day and we were able to stay until a little longer.

The boys with grandpa hiking to Jenny's Canyon.

Caleb and daddy! 

Gage leading the way! 

Inside Jenny's Canyon - the only slot canyon in the park.  It's nice and cool in there! 



Snow Canyon is beautiful! 

My 3 awesome boys!  All are such great hikers! 



We took a quick stop at the Sand Dunes to play a bit. 



Now we're hiking to the lava tunnels. 

Corbin with Parker and Brady with Caleb. 

Mom and Dad! 

Gibson and Carter! 

The Bezoskis! 

Courtney and her cute boys, Lukas and Milo!

A tiny bit of water - a rare site in the middle of July! 

We wore Caleb out!  Sound asleep! 

One afternoon, we decided to head back to Snow Canyon for a bit more hiking. 






Snack time!  Nectarines... Mmmm!
