We all loaded up the cars and drove up Snow Canyon before the sun set. I love this place!

Earlier that morning we went on a hike.

Can I say once more how beautiful it is there?

St. George in July

I spent 2 weeks in St. George. In July. The hottest month of the year! I had a blast hanging out with family, throwing together a wedding reception, and squeezing in as many “Swig” trips as possible! I’m still craving their yummy sugar cookies. {Anyone wanna overnight me some? Please, pretty please?}

24th of July parade and breakfast. It got super hot, and it was barely 9am!

On the 25th, we woke before the sun came up so we could go hiking in Zion National Park. It was an amazing, hike, and I’m STILL kicking myself for chickening out and not hiking all the way to Angel’s Landing. Granted, I don’t know if I’ll EVER have the guts to hike it!

We were able to squeeze in an early morning session at the temple. It was SO much fun be there with so many family members! And, even more special because we were able to seal my father to his parents! AMAZING!

Traditional pedicures! We took up the whole place!
