It was sunny and warm (hot) every day, so we spent plenty of time enjoying Uncle Darin's boat.
Mike brought his trailer and Grammie and Grandpa brought their motor home so just camped right there at the edge of the lake. They also brought their 4-wheelers so we could ride on the sand dunes.
It took a while, but the kiddos eventually had a nice, muddy hot tub.
After several days at the lake, we were sunburned and dried out, and it was time for a break. We spent Father's Day weekend at Angie and Darin's house in St. George. Unfortunately Tiffany and Brian hadn't quite made it back from their vacation in California in time to be in our Father's Day family picture.
That afternoon, we headed back to Salt Lake. We left by way of Snow Canyon, another old rock climbing and rappelling haunt of mine. The girls and I climbed up to the Pioneer Names site in the canyon. I've left this photo a little larger in file size, so that if you click on it and look in the arch behind and above us, you might be able to see the names written in wagon axle grease by several Mormon pioneers as they entered the St. George valley in the 1800s.
After two weeks of non-stop, and sometimes tiring fun, it was time to come home to Pennsylvania. For most of us anyway. Jessica stayed for her turn for a 12 year old summer week with Grandma, while the rest of us took a red-eye flight back to PA. We were very grateful for the time and means we had to spend time in Utah, and look forward to getting Jessica back soon.
