FALL BREAK.. ST. GEORGE

we had a great time for fall break, st George is so
beautiful and warm..lots of swimming, hiking, eating,
and more swimming..

this is leslie and nan demonstrating how they saved mia's life..
i went to get lunch at IN & OUT burger, leaving mia in the
care of leslie and nan, they were busy chit-chatting when all of
a sudden nan looked over and said "hey leslie, is that mia under
the water?" without no hesitation leslie fearlessly leaped into the
pool (with day one hair..) and pulled mia out of the water.. no
worries, mia just looked at leslie and walked off to go onto the
next thing, not even a tear.. they made a deal saying.." hey lets not
tell gina about this.." but as i returned i noticed that leslie looked
a little wet.. so it was very easy to figure out.. thanks for saving
mia's life, good job...

doing a little water ballet- julia and elli

enjoying a little IN & OUT burger pool side.. the grandma's
stay out by the pool watching the kids swim all day everyday..

we even met up with the tanners. they invited us to come over
and swim at the pool with them.. we had so much fun jumping off
the rocks and playing football in the pool.. watch out the ground is
a little slippery especially when wet, elli got running and fell straight
back on her head, she even got a little minor concussion.. scary

little beauties.. the sisters, best friends..

alec, nic, andrew, madeline, and devri.. this was the beginning
of our journey. hiking through the beautiful red rocks

strike a pose.. savanna, julie, & elli

hold on nic!! just kidding what a tease.. that is just one of the
wonderful things teenagers do..

way to cool.. andrew, dayson, alec, & nic..

this was as far as i could get.. i didn't dare go through the
small narrow opening.. i swore it is smaller than it use to be..
i think that my child barring hips would have a struggle trying
to get through that opening.. maybe next time- the kids had no
problem, i stopped counting how many time they went through..
they had so much fun!
