I've had a long term infatuation with the red rock of Southern Utah. Don't worry, Danny isn't jealous. You would think I would get tired of the red desert, considering how many hikes I've done in Zion and Arches, but not so. I can never get enough of that sandstone goodness. The day after Thanksgiving we took the kiddos up to a look out point over St. George at a place called Pioneer Park (very different from the Pioneer Park here in SLC) so they could play, climb and explore the rock formations. I loved every second of it. I was in my red heaven.
And now for an amusing experience... I was hiking around with Super R when some how the water bottle in my hand became dislodged. (Don't know how that happened.) It tumbled to the bottom of the hill. I'm against littering, so I took it upon myself to retrieve it. However, I was worried about Super R following me down the hill because it was a little steep and I didn't want him to slip, fall, hurt himself or all of the above. I made a deal with him. He could take pictures with my camera (I just have a simple point and shoot) if he promised to stay at the top of the hill and wait for me. He agreed and I handed over my camera. When I got my camera back, I laughed so hard. Here is the perspective of my 4-year-old nephew.

| The mighty King E! I'm sad this is the only picture I got of King E. I seemed to be watching over his younger bros while we were there. |

| General J and Super R, both kings of the hill. |

| My little rock climbers. |
 |
| Their cuteness melts my heart as does their red hair. |
 |
| Well hello there... |
 |
| B. Anu won't smile when I try to get pictures of him, so I had to get happy action shots. |
 |
| Sister foot shot! |

Those Ryan pictures are so funny! He's a pretty good photographer for only being 4 :)
ReplyDeleteLove the red hair with the red rock and the funny shots of you retrieving the water bottle. So fun.
ReplyDeleteI love all those fiery redheads on the red rocks!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see the pics that Ryan took. And yes, there is something fascinating about the red rocks.
