Just a few days after we returned from Germany, we headed to St. George to spend a week with Kenneth's family at their time share. It was especially exciting because it was the first time we were able to see his brother, Steven, in two years. He just returned from serving a mission in the Tulsa, Oklahoma mission. It was also our first time meeting our newest nephew, Marcus.
We had two condos for the trip, one next to the other. We were in the "sick" condo with Chantale, Mike and their daughter Elena, who was sick with hand, foot & mouth disease. Needless to say, we spent most of our time at the other condo! We had tons of fun though, climbing, taking a family hike, swimming, finding crayfish at the lake, a girl's day out shopping and taking family photos.

The crayfish Kenneth took about 15 minutes to get untangled from the fishing line. |

Sreven climbing - he was climbing in his dress shoes, so we bought him some climbing shoes the next day as a make-up for the last 2 Christmases and birthdays. |

We even got some of the guys out who don't usually care to come out climbing. Matty & Aidan even did some climbing! They did great!

Here is a compilation of pictures of Kenneth doing a classic climb he has always wanted to try. It was a tough one too! A 12.a I think. He did a great job and looked amazing! |
Here are some photos from our family hike:

We had a wonderful time in St. George. The time spent with family was excellent, and it is one of our favorite places to climb. We always love it there and can't wait to head back sometime soon.
