St. George-Hiking

I honestly have no idea which thing we did on our St. George trip was the favorite. Everything was so much fun. This however would be my best guess. Climbing all over these rocks was a dream come true for the boys, especially Lincoln.

Josh was happy to trade the pink umbrella out for this huge black one.

The rocks were so beautiful.

There were a lot of rocks that the kids couldn't get up themselves.

Lincoln was as happy as I have ever seen him. He loves climbing!

Look at those cute faces.

Mr. Poppins.

Awesome view.

Note to self-inspect the clothes that my kids wear to go slide around on the red rocks. White shorts+red rocks=red bootie on white shorts. Luckily we got it out, mostly.

We saw this sweet baby bird nest while we were exploring. Can you see the cute little feathers of the baby birds? Kate and I were so worried that someone would come along and ruin it.

The boys thought it was cool too.

Hunter loved our adventure.

These water bottles saved us! You freeze a thing in the middle that keeps the water cool on a hot day. The boys were happy to have them.

McKay was so dragged around this weekend that he would get sleep wherever he could. This was his most creative. He fell asleep while Josh was carrying him. He was so deep. We lost our Baby Bjorn, so in the mean time until we find it, we just have to carry him (I seriously DON'T want to buy another one!)

He was totally limp, just hanging there. It worried me a little.

These walkie talkies were the highlight of the trip for the boys. My mother-in-law gave them to one of the boys for their birthday and Josh has saved them for just such an occasion. Notice the picture in the middle that they are talking to each other into them, yes they are s couple feet away from each other and said everything into the walkie talkies. Josh was also very into them. I know he wishes he had one.

This was the coolest little dugout (okay it was actually huge) in the rocks. Rumor was that it was for trappers to stay in. There was a fireplace (below) and everything.

McKay slept all of the way through the hike.

This umbrella saved us. McKay would have been so miserable without it (as would I).

I love moments like these.

This picture still traumatizes me. This is of a skinny little opening in some cliffs that very skinny people go through (honestly, it is so narrow). Well, a bigger guy decided that what he was seeing in the mirror wasn't accurate and he was going to prove it to everyone by going through this. He got stuck. We were there for a while and he couldn't get out. I was hyperventilating just thinking about it. I hope he got out!

The kids did so great with this. It is fun that they are getting old enough that we can start doing more things with them. This picture is of a tricky little rock that they all climbed with Josh. I didn't do it because I was holding McKay, but they were awesome!
