Family, hikes, bikes, swimming & polygamists

Out trip to St. George over Memorial Day weekend.  Best part- spending time with family.  

Shep saw this bike with no training wheels and decided he wanted to ride it. 

 He fell once got back up and has been cruisin' ever since. 

                  The perfect hike.  Not too hard, lots of mountains to scale.  The kids loved it.

Shep loves wrestling with his uncles.
Uncle Eric was making Shep's day!

This is the BIG slide at the St. George pool where Travis got into a little bit of trouble.  I sent him in the pool with Shep and Meda while I sat in the car with Bear while he slept.  When I came to the pool about 30 minutes later, I learn that Travis had lost Shep.  Couldn't find him anywhere.  His first thoughts are to look in all the pools, he's nowhere.  Then someone looks up and see Shep at the top of the slide ready to go down!

Shep's LOVES his cousins.  In his mind that's the best friend you can have.  If he has a friend he really likes, he'll ask "are they my cousin?"  We are lucky to have such great cousins!

Meda sandwiching herself between Christa and Evan- her two favorite people.  She followed them everywhere they went for most of the weekend!  Meda LOVED this skirt and "jewelrine" Malia gave her for her birthday!  She wore it for two days straight.

There are no photos of my new polygamist friends.  But we met while shopping at the outlets.  I followed them into sketchers and there we perused a few aisles until it became clear that we needed to go our separate ways.  I was mesmerized.  Funny how people can seem so different from us yet so the same.  I admire them in a way, they seem so dedicated to what they believe in.
