Southern Utah . . again . . . and again . . . and again!


We headed to Southern Utah 3 weekends in a row!  First we went to a Shields Family reunion at Ponderosa ranch.  We felt really lonely as only 75 of the 100+ relatives were able to make it :)  There was excellent swimming and family time, but Jackson was a terrible sleeper (only slept from 12-5 am!)



Next weekend we went to a condo in St. George.  It was a great get-away to have some time with just our little family.  It was HOT but we did alot of swimming, some shopping and game time.  We also visited the local historical church sites (not a great idea with a 2 year old that wants to touch everything).  We were so glad to relax together for a few days!





The Dixie narrows (narrow enough that our new little baby almost couldn't fit through!)




St. George Temple



Finally, we got to hike the infamous "subway" in Zions.  We have been trying to do this hike since right after we met (Dave did it without me the weekend after we started dating because I already had plans).  It has never worked out and we were worried that being 18 weeks pregnant might thwart our plans again, but thanks to a helpful husband we were able to complete this incredible hike.

That is amazing. I don't love driving in the car so to think of three weekends driving - props to you. Your adventures looks like tons of fun though.

Jamie I can not believe you did that hike. Looking at you wading through the water with your little baby belly makes my back hurt:) Congrats on accomplishing it.
