We decided to use the long weekend to get away to the sunny, blue skies of St. George. Wow, did I ever need that. We had a great trip. Corbin was an angel and slept the entire drive down and the entire drive home. We played pretty hard on this trip. We went swimming twice, went hiking twice, went to the park to play soccer twice, and went to our favorite park with water features twice. Notice a trend here? Of course I forgot to charge the camera battery, so we didn't get a whole lot of pictures, but here are the few we did get.
Ty took the 4 oldest and Toby on a hike, my cousin recommended this trail and they seemed to have a good time. I enjoyed staying home reading a book while Corbin napped.
This is a hike Ty did as a kid. They named it "the short and scary hike". It's a MUST for our kids, every time we go to St. George. The kids climb through basically a crack in the rock, while the larger, unable to fit parents climb around to the top. Here's the kids coming out of the crack at the top.
Corbin got to hike up with mom and dad.
It was so nice to see blue skies the entire time, no inversion! I even got a little sun on my face. We really had a great trip, I was worried with travelling with a baby again, but Corbin has truly redeemed himself. What a great baby! The only thing missing was my mom. I got a little home sick for her while we were down there. The kids and I kept mentioning places she likes to go and things we have done with her down there. But they have passed their hump day and are on the home stretch of their mission. 8 & 1/2 months to go and you can bet next winter we will be taking a trip to St. George with Grandma! (Don't think I'm leaving my dad out of the equation, he doesn't enjoy the heat and truly doesn't know how to relax, so St. George isn't his kind of place.)
