Little St. George

My mom's family (the Little's) had a family reunion type thing in St. George a couple weeks ago. Jake and I drove up there after I got off work at 8pm. We were supposed to get there by 3 AM, which isn't too bad for us, we're usually up until 2. But we didn't get there until 6 AM. We missed the exit to Vegas and ended up in CA. ARGH! Poor Jake drove the entire time. He's so amazing! Activities started at 9 the next day so Jake was running on 3 hours of sleep that day. What a trooper!
The trip consisted of hiking, talking, more hiking and eating. We went to Zions because I guess my grandpa used to drive the tour buses through there. The next day we hiked up through a little canyon with a river. It was really beautiful and made me appreciate the desert again (see previous post...). Before we took off we were able to visit Jake's cousin Roy and his cute little family. Jake and Roy used to sell alarms together so we know them pretty well, it was nice to catch up with them again.
I love my family (on both sides!!) Family is what makes life worth living! Here are some pictures from the trip!

This picture perfectly shows how tired he was!

First stop on hike #1 @Zions. We are standing under a waterfall.

Everyone has such funny faces in this one!

Stop #2 at the middle pools. I can't believe I didn't take a picture of them.

Stop #3, upper pool.

Cliff Dweller :)

One of my favorite parts of the trip was playing with Emery! She is so cute! And the funniest thing she did all weekend was scream at Carson. If he ever walked too close or tried to hold her she'd scream at him! It reminded me of the bird Kevin from Up who is always screeching at the dog.

Hike #2 Red Cliffs in Leeds, UT.

My favorite picture from the entire weekend. Oh brothers.

You make it up to Utah a lot it seems! That's so fun you get to spend time with your family! You look gorgeous in that picture with Emery and Carson(only he just looks crazy). Your siblings are growing up!
