Saint George

Every year for labor day we go with my family to Saint George.  We always have a fun time.  We never do much, but we always relish the relaxing, long weekend.  On Friday night we went to the Tuacahn and watched the Little Mermaid.  They did such an amazing job with the set and the costumes.  It was so neat!  Justin and I love going to the shows there. 

Another highlight of our weekend was going on a couple of hikes at Zions.  Zions is so pretty, but there are way too many international people there.  My word!  I did not know national parks were a huge draw for tourists, but apparently they are.  LAME!  Luckily we still had a good time.

Tylie bug kept doing this to Shannon, it was way cute

Justin and Alex decided they needed a better view.  Justin said he was allowed to be up there because he is a Junior Park Ranger and all...

 Other than those two things we didn't do much.  The boys watched some football, the girls went shopping, we all went bike riding, played at the park and ate some good food.  Overall, it was a really great weekend. 

Happy Birthday J5K

I know this is extremely late, but I figured I needed to give at least a little shout out to my main man on his 24th birthday (and in my defense we technically didn't celebrate his birthday until a couple of weeks ago).  I can't believe when I first started dating Justin he was the tender age of 21.  It's crazy how quickly these past few years have gone.  Since Justin is getting older, I decided it would be a good idea to do something physically taxing for his birthday.  Since our prime years are quickly slipping away and all, I figured doing a ropes course would be appropriate.  We had a great time, and were quite exhausted after the fact.

SET

GO!

This was me trying to do the same thing.  Lets just say my end result wasn't quite the same as Justin's.

The ropes course also had a zip line, rock climbing, a giant swing, canoeing, some tight rope walking, and some really fun group activities.  We had an absolutely wonderful time!

Happy Birthday Justin!
