Family Reunion

We went to St. George in June. I planned the family reunion for my side of the family. We went to Zion Canyon a couple of days, Snow Canyon, Tuacahn, and some other little things around St. George. I tried to balance out hiking with other activities. Things seemed to go well and I think everyone had a good time. My family was all pretty supportive of my efforts. All were able to come except my sister-in-law and my niece, and we missed them. I had a great time despite the heat.

Who's the cute baby girl you say? Well, we didn't have a masculine hat with a strap to prevent a baby from pulling it off. I'm frugal and decided against buying a hat when I already had one. He's a baby and didn't seem to mind. The pink flowers did tend to confuse people.

I carried Thomas. Scott carried the food and the water. It worked out well!

This is the beginnings of our group. Several others arrived later in the day and then a few more arrived the next day. 

 The kids and several of the adults played in the river after hiking the first mile of the Narrows.


The kids playing at a park with a pool, river, and splash pad.

We hiked on rocks in Snow Canyon. Fortunately, we were in the shade for this portion of the day.


This is also at Snow Canyon once the sun came out. The temperatures skyrocketed in a hurry.
