Labor Day Weekend in St. George

Labor Day Weekend this year did NOT disappoint! We drove up to St. George where we stayed in a condo with my family for the weekend! This included us, my parents, my sister and her husband, and my cousin and her boyfriend! We played games, ate all the junk food, watched movies, loved on Lexi (duh), and hiked around some beautiful scenery! 

On Saturday, we drove to St. George and went straight to Chick-fil-a... Of course. Then we played in the water at the Snow Canyon Aquatic Center and checked into our condo! On Sunday we went to church, then breakfast with Logan's mom and grandpa. After Lexi's nap, we decided to go up Snow Canyon and walk around! I can't get enough of the red rock and the sight of Logan carrying Lexi girl around in the hiking backpack! Adorable!

Is she glaring at me? Haha.
Thanks for getting the smile out of her, Uncle Michael!


She LOVES being outside exploring and it's probably my favorite thing to watch.

Early Monday morning, we got up and drove to Zion to hike Angel's Landing! My mom stayed back with Lexi since we didn't want to hike with her all the way up there... If you've ever been, it's pretty sketchy near the top. They have chains that you hold onto and sheer cliffs on either side of you! But I love that kind of stuff. Also, little did my cousin Megan know that her boyfriend was planning to propose up top! More on that later! P.S. These next ones are all iPhone photos, cause, duh, I wasn't about to lug my Nikon up the mountain! Although I kind of wish I had! It was absolutely beautiful!


We got to the trailhead and it was FREEZING still! The sun hadn't come over the mountain and I was wearing short shorts and a tank top haha! Good to know for the next time I hike this. But of course, as soon as we really got going, I warmed up.

See that ridge there? Yeah you hike up that! 

This was where Logan and my brother in law decided to turn back and drive back to the condo to help my mom back all the stuff up, since we would barely make it back in time to checkout. I was sad we didn't get to go all the way to the top together, but grateful he let me go up the rest of the way because I REALLY wanted to! Especially since I was going to help with the proposal. Haha. How sweet is he for thinking about my mom though...!! Love him!


This picture doesn't really do the precariousness of this rock justice... It was right on the edge and you seriously couldn't lean back or else you'd fall off... It was probably a good thing Logan wasn't there to witness me climb up it to get a picture, haha.

The view from the top! 

Derek, my cousin's boyfriend, wanted our help with the proposal. We decided to get some chalk and when we got to the top, find a flat enough spot to write this on it. It worked out super well and it was SO cute to witness them getting engaged! Congratulations Megan and Derek! 






We drove home straight after we got back from the hike which meant I didn't get to shower haha (sorry for my stench, Log). Lexi slept the rest of the way back and we spent the rest of the day relaxing together at home! It was such a good weekend!
