So, over the Memorial Day weekend, we went on a small trip to St. George.  It was so nice to get away and spend time with just our family.  The kids got along so great - Clayton and I commented more than once how fun it was to watch the kids play together.  

We hiked in Snow Canyon and even saw a desert tortoise!  We loved climbing all the rocks there.  Jackson was especially good at it.  I was the Debbie Downer - always worried about a fall, and Clayton said to me, "That is why women don't come to scout camps."

We went swimming every day.  It felt so good.  The weather was perfect.  Warm enough to love the pool, but not so scorching that we couldn't stand to hike.

We also took the kids to check out the St. George Temple.  It is, of course, a beautiful building, and has beautiful grounds.  We got some really cute pictures of the kids there.

you are amazing! who hikes after having a baby? you're way cooler than me ;-) fun to get out of the house though and be outside and so great that your kiddos got along great. I would be nervous too, i saw those pics of them climbing the side of the rock, how fun though, i really need to get out and explore what Utah has to offer!
