a saint called george

my family congregated, from all four corners of the mid-west, in st. george a few weekends ago. tyler and i had a blast showing my family around the greater st. george area.

we took them to SNOW CANYON...

cinder cones - one in the foreground, one on the right, and one in the distance on the left.
kevin and kayla at the petrified sand dunes.
hi mom!
then ZION NATIONAL PARK...
the top of angel's landing (i wouldn't get on that rock last time we were there, but i did it this time!!)

the landing before the chain starts. (scott's something or other, i think.) this picture was supposed to be of tyler, but kevin and kayla ended up in it, too. cuuuute.

on the way up (i don't have anyone else because we all used our own cameras).
walter's wiggles on the way down (take one). todd, karen, kevin, kayla, tyler.

much better shot (take two). todd, karen, kevin, kayla, christine.
weeping rock (view towards the canyon). you can see the rock's tears falling from above. (click to enlarge)

tyler tried drinking the water and THEN we saw the sign that it may contain giardia. awesome. no signs of it, though, so we're in the clear. :)

tyler took the more adventurous mountain biking to bear claw poppy seed (unfortunately no pictures) and, of course, we went shopping . the weather was perfect - 80s and overcast the entire time (no pouring rain like northern utah!). i think a great time was had by all and maybe we'll get karen all the way to the top of angel's landing next time.
