St. George

at the end of July, jon and I went to st. george with my family!

it was such a ball. we spent most of the time...in the pool.

but we also wore swimsuits backwards and stretched our limbs.

and we compared muscles. sorry jon...

on saturday, we hiked the narrows. 

i usually don't like to hike, but this was so fun.

i wonder why i don't like hiking? here...let me hold that for you.

twin moms and cute babies.

i thought this was so funny and cute. little robbie.

here are all the kids! this was at the beginning of the water hike.

<3

i seriously loved hiking through the water.

and i loved playing with the doll.

(I meant to type this doll. the doll is pretty darn funny though.)

she is so precious.

and so is he. look at my boy, sleeping away.

two cuties.

(see how good jon's new picture smile is?? so handsome!)

here is the whole group. such good company.

doesn't this look like a paparazzi shot? or maybe i just want it to...?

we hiked as far as we wanted, then turned around. jon, sam, and I decided to get all the way in the water and just float down the river. it was so relaxing. and cold. 

the rest of the weekend was spent reading, nintendo-ing, and playing who wants to be a millionaire.

swimming!

and eating, obviously. 

yummm.

since i LOVED the hike soo much, this guy invited me to go hiking this weekend. 

it's called the bridge to nowhere. 

it is somewhat similar to the narrows, we'll be passing through water.

and it is ten miles. 

ten. 

miles. 

i haven't asked nephi yet if its ten miles in, ten miles back. 

i dont think i'll ask him until we finish.

oh, and i guess she can come too.

nephi talked me into it by sending me this email-

"I think this commenter said it best:

"After passing through the river a bunch of times (so much fun!) and about 4.5 miles in, we called it quits. Why? We got a late start (2 pm) and it was starting to get a bit dark... 

Upon return, we realized we were a mere 10 minutes-ish away from the bridge.

Though we “gave up” and never found the Bridge to Nowhere, we built a stronger bridge — a metaphorical bridge that connected the five of our hearts. A bridge we’ll never forget."

that could be US!!"
