Memorial Weekend

We went to St. George for Memorial weekend with two of our favorite couples (the Jones' and the Nielsens) and little Claire and Cyrus (Nielsen kids). Although the weather was a bit wishy washy we had a fantastic time! My favorite day of the trip was the one we spent in Zions National Park hiking around, and watching the guys rotate carrying Cyrus around. Good times!


This is the lovely ladies of the trip. Claire, Kristine, Callie, and Kadie. Hardcore hikers.



The Nielsen Family.


We conquerred Angel's Landing... this hike is quite freaky for the last mile. It requires you hold on to a chain because on either side of you is a complete drop off. My life flashed before my eyes.

Zions Canyon is so beautiful! I never realized how much I absolutely LOVE hiking. I now appreciate all the hikes my dad made us go on as kids. It's allowed me to enjoy the challenge even more. Anywho, this is me and Jake and the top of Angel's Landing... nice view, eh? I think we'll start hiking more often.

Here's the whole crew eating dinner at a small BBQ joint in St. George. Descent food, but my guess is that they'll be out of business before too long.

The whole weekend was such a blast! From sitting around at the condo eating junk food to walking over to the pool and continuing to sit around and eat junk food. Aaaahhhhhh, I love vacation!
