that long weekend

^^ we ventured down to beautiful St. George for the long President’s Day weekend. I always forget just how much I love those red rocks and that warm desert sun. ^^

^^ my best friend (since we were 6 months old!) was married on Saturday in Vegas. wahoo! we had such a crazy weekend, so it ended up being just my mom and me going to the wedding. GIRLS DAY! It was weird not having a diaper bag or car seat! We had some car trouble (ha, what an adventure!), took a few wrong turns, but we did make it to the wedding, barely. 😉 ^^

^^ we put our backpack we got for Christmas to good use and went on our traditional President’s Day hike at Johnson’s Arch. ^^

^^ “Ok, dad. I want you to jump up and pretend you’re holding the sun.” –Erin ^^

^^ When we first moved to St. George when I was 8, I was particularly found of all the desert. Now I can’t get enough of it! ^^
