Okay, last weekend we had family visiting!!! Yea, I love it when family comes to town. We had my cousins from Las Vegas stay the night with us and also my sisters stayed with us too. Becky was making the move from Tucson, AZ to Provo, UT for a temp-one year teaching position at BYU in the Anthro dept. (This is to fill in for a professor, it will be great since she can teach and finish writing her dissertation too! Kudos to you Becky) So, they flew Sheree, my younger sister to AZ to help Becky with the move. They stayed over at our place for two days!!! Party for us. We went hiking in Snow Canyon State Park, which we can see out our window, meaning it is a whole 10 minutes away. It is a small park, but really pretty and we had a nice, small hike. It was fun. Howie totally enjoyed it. He would through small pebbles down the hill and laugh and be thoroughly amused. He is all boy and loves being outside, he would do anything to be in the outdoors.
This is my favorite photo of us all. It turned out really well. Gotta love those red rocks of St. George. L to R: Sheree, Howie, Tara, Tommy and Becky.
This one is really cute. Howie and Becky, studying ROCKS, howie's current favorite subject.
A view from inside the park looking back towards St. George.
A view looking into the park. I love the orange and while swirl rocks, it reminds me of the orange dreamcicle ice cream bars. This state park has a lot of white rocks (probably where it gets it name) that are pretty cool to look at. Kind of a sharp contrast to all of the red rocks in the St. George area.
Having a lovely afternoon.
Amongst all of the red and while rocks are the black lava rocks and lava caves. We hiked down into a few. They were fun, and much much cooler than above ground.
