Still Catching Up: August in St. George

Still catching up here.  My goal is to be to January by the time I go back to work in a few days..These are some photos of a trip we took to St. George in August when my Grandma was in the hospital.  It was nice spending time with her.  My parents and cousins Christy and Spencer and his wife Shannon were there also.  One of the days we were there we spent the evening in Snow Canyon, which is very close to Grandma's house and one of our favorite places ever.  We stayed to watch the sun go down.














They also have a fun splash park a few blocks from Grandma's house that the kids had fun playing at.

We are very grateful to have been able to make the trip and to have had a nice last visit with Gram in St. George, a place we have grown to love over the past 18 years or so of visiting her there.

We stopped off at the fairly new bridge that goes over the Hoover Dam now.  It is dizzyingly high up and an has an amazing view that is well worth the stop.  When you drive over it, you cannot see over the side.  Unless you are paying close attention you wouldn't even realize you are going over a bridge at all.  Before you go over it, there is an exit where you can park and walk up to the pedestrian part of the bridge, which is what we did.
