St. George

As I'm sure everyone else who visits, LOVES St. George like I do. I've visited many times, most of which when I was in high school & college, so I always have fond memories of the beauty & small town feel that St. George offers. Kevin & his mother, Ruth, both have birthdays toward the end of September, and to celebrate, we took a weekend trip to St. George. The weather was absolutely BEAUTIFUL (which was nice to get away from the terrible weather in Salt Lake) and we had a great time hanging out with Marley's paternal grandparents. Kevin & I also got to see "Aida" at the outdoor Tuacahn theater---the background setting of the red rock in for the theater was incredible! We made a short stop to Cove Fort, which has been wonderfully restored & has a fantastic history behind it!

Marley had a good time, mostly because we were outside & she got to play with her Grandma Ruth! And yes, the guy in the top left picture actually wore those denim shorts voluntarily!

The fort itself was extremely well built and "will stand for ages" according to our tour guide. They refurbished the insides & tried to use actual time pieces related to the time when the fort was in use. It paid off because it looked like we had stepped back in time!

Kevin & I aren't often in the pictures, and I thought about turning the blog into a book, so I figured we should get more pictures of ourselves in the blog!

Marley looooves her Grandma Ruth. If Grandma Ruth isn't the world's greatest grandmother, she is definitely in the top 3 of greatest grandmothers of all time! She spends so much time with Marley & plays all sorts of games with her. Marley just adores her!

The St. George Temple is absolutely gorgeous! The white of the temple against the red rock of St. George is stunning!
