St. George and Zions (12-15 Nov 2009)

Our latest family trip was to visit Grandma and Grandpa McAllister in St George. Mom and Dad were already there. Anne, Norm and the kids came up from Pinon. And Larry and Jordan came down as well. It was great to be all together.

Nathan was happy to see Grandma and Grandpa and he even held still long enough for me to take some pictures... a rare occasion indeed! It rained a bit Thursday so Dad took us to Zion's on Friday so we could see the waterfalls and the fall colors.

 It was beautiful!

The trees didn't disappoint and the low clouds were amazing too.

Nathan went with us on a couple mile hike while Jamie stayed back in the car with Mom. He was such a good hiker and his slow pace kept Jordan from killing us with his super hiker speed! What a good boy.

It is always nice to get out of the big city and into the "wild" especialy with my beautiful girl!

The Patriarcs where shrouded in clouds and the colors were awesome. What an incredible place!

On Saturday some of us took a little walk to a small pond near G & G's house. Sera climbed out on a rock and promply fell in up to her neck. Dad took her back to the house where she warmed up by the fire.

The rest of us just hung out at the pond and stream while Evan worked on removing all the soggy leaves clogging up the stream.

Jordan and Dad took the kids to the sand dunes and as you can see they had a great time. Yeah, I know... kids and a mountin of sand, who would have thunked it!?

Aint she just too cute for her own good!

What a beautiful day too.

We also had a great time with Anne and the kids swiming at the hotel pool. It was great to see them again, we don't get together enough anymore! I guess it is our turn to go visit them down in Pinon!
