Hiking


While in St. George last weekend I went hiking with Jocee, her two children Milly and Brejden, D.J., Jillian, Colby, Lachelle, Kato (my dad's dog) and Jeff, Nan's son (Dad's fiancee). We went hiking just North of Snow Canyon park and found snow on the rocks but the weather was nice and warm. Kato had a blast splashing through the puddles and Brejden kept trying to follow him into the puddles. We found a small sand dune and D.J., Jeff and Jillian took turns jumping over bushes (or in the case of Jeff, belly-flopping into the sand). It was so funny!

Brejden, after seeing everyone else jumping in the sand decided to jump himself. When we were ready to leave the sand dunes I emptied about 2 cups of sand out of each of Brejden's shoes.

Jocee and I have been having a "Biggest Loser" contest since the first of the year so she refused to let me carry Milly in the Snuggly because she wanted the extra calorie burn associated with packing the extra weight. As you can see, Milly spent most of the hike sleeping through (she is a true Schmutz). Towards the end of the hike Brejden shouted he was jumping over the bush and jumped right in the middle of it. After the hike we returned to the car for snacks and bottled water.

Looks like you all had a lot of fun! That is so funny about Brejden jumping into the middle of the bush. What a cutie!

Hiking sounds cool. Maybe we should go when the summer comes, if you weren't spending all your time making fancy blogs.

Ok, this looks too much fun! Next time I'm coming; at least Aria will be in a Snugli and not inside being "snuggly".
