Subway

Wow I'm way behind in posting.  It has been a busy month or so.  But it is only getting busier, so I'd better post something before I get farther behind.

Over June 17-21st we went down to St. George, UT for a vacation.  Actually "we" went down at different times: Robert went down the 17-20th and the kids and I went down the 18-21st.  It was a very big family vacation in that Robert's family (Parents, Brother, Sister, soon-to-be-Brother-in Law, other sister) and my family (Parents, sister, brother-in-law, two brothers) all went down there.  Robert's brother got a sweet place for us to stay - thank you, Aaron!  And we played in the pool and hiked around a lot.

Robert went down early to hike Heaps Canyon with his brother, sister, and a few others.  Heaps is a super intense canyon.  They had to start at 4 in the morning, they had to bring extra thick wet suits because of the frigid water they were jumping in and out of.  And...I don't have any pictures.  My brother in law does, and I may edit this post and put some in when I can finally get them from him.  We did go to meet them when they finally ended at Emerald Pools after the last 300 foot rappel.

On June 20th we all (minus my mom who was watching my two little tykes) hiked the Subway.  It was beautiful.

The North Pole.

Let me just say that wet suits are not flattering on anyone.

My Dad with his "Moses" staff, swimming through a very tight space.

Don't let the image fool you, that water was frigid!

We had a few non-life-threatening injuries, but we all made it.
Then most of us relaxed for a day in St. George.  We swam in the luxurious club pool.

We took Christian on a "hike" to Jenny's Canyon.

It was cute.  Jenny's Canyon is a super short slot canyon, only about 50 yards long.  When Christian walked to the back and there was no where to go he said the door was closed and we couldn't go there.

We had a wonderful trip.
