FUN in the SUN!

Pat had last week off of work and since we don't have very much money for a family vacation this Summer we decided to jump in the car and head to Sunny Saint George. We had fun staying in Grandpa & Grandma's condo and aside from the afternoon that the guys went to the driving range, we pretty much spent most of our time relaxing by the pool with our long lost friend.... the Sun!
You do remember him don't you? In case you have forgotten what he looks like let me remind you... he's that gigantic good looking hottie that hangs out in the sky all day! He's a real charmer that Mr. Sun, who sure knows how to make a girl feel good:)
Anyway, back to the vaca... It was so nice to get out of the rainy weather we've been having and feel the heat on our skin again! Not all of us were quite so lazy though... Pat spent most of his time hiking & biking in Zion's & Saint George. You can read about his crazy adventures here:)

Below are a few pictures of one of our fun filled evenings playing amongst the beautiful Red Rocks of Saint George Utah:)

Hello down there:)
Made it through!

"that was fun, let's do it again!"
Next we moved on to a little rock climbing...

cliff hanging....

jaw dropping...

FUN!

Proof that you are never too old to play with rocks:)

Of course we hit Spoon Me on the way
back to the condo for a cool & tasty treat

then it was straight to the hot tub

and this time it was filled with, hot, steaming water:)
ahhhhhhhhh we love you Saint George
...you too Mr. Sun;)

Such a fun trip... why are we back up here in the rain? Maybe we should just head back down tomorrow afternoon for some more fun! Thanks posting these so we can remember what nice weather looks like!

I am sooooo needing a vacation like that. Looks like you guys had such fun. Trapped in an apartment in the rain for 3 weeks has been hard. ;)

These pictures are amazing. Are they photoshopped? Who took them. They are fabulous! What a beautiful family. I love hearing about all your adventures and am glad you all got some R & R and fun hanging out with Mr. Sun. I used to be totally in love with him but he dumped me this summer. Just quit showing up.......doesn't return my calls......
