Gavin had to go to Las Vegas on business a few weeks ago so we decided to make a weekend of it. It was so nice to spend some time together. We were able to go visit Ninnie while in St. George. Thanks dad for letting us stay at your place.

I finished the binding on this quilt during the drive to Vegas.

After the weekend, Em came down with all the kids and then Gav headed home. Dad & Janet, and Eric & Tobin's family also joined us and of course we had fun swimming, playing at the splash park, hiking, lizard hunting, & exploring Zion's. Noelle was also able to squeeze in a trip to the St. George temple to do baptisms for the dead. While in Zion's we hiked to the Upper Emerald Pools which are so beautiful (the pictures don't do it justice.) Eric was the only one brave enough (or should I say dumb enough) to actually jump in the water. The water was freezing and there were "No Swimming" signs posted. Thanks Er for the laugh:) My kids were such troopers, even Lila. She hiked up with me just holding her hand until we passed the Middle Pools and then I carried her the rest of the way. Everyone slept well after that! Sorry about all the pictures. I took over 400 so it was hard to narrow down.
