July 4th!

Happy 4th of July! We went down to St. George for Robert and Kortney's new baby, Ryan's, blessing. On the way down we stopped in Kolob Canyon, Zion's National Park for some great hiking.

Checking out the scenery, so pretty, and RED!

We stayed at a great resort in St. George, I think it is my favorite way now to do family vacations with the Manwaring side. The 3rd was Kortney's birthday, so we celebrated that night with her and her family. There was a really yummy cake and fireworks too! Happy Birthday Kortney, we love you!

Karissa, Jenn, and I all took turns with my bike, riding with Nathan up some beautiful canyons the nexy morning, on the 4th. So, so pretty. I'm glad that I went early because man did it get hot, and I am not from AZ :)

Go Karissa! Working the hills despite the bad knees

On Sunday was the baby blessing, and it was beautiful, and so neat that so many of the family could be there. Thank you again to the Warburton's for the BBQ afterwards. It was a great weekend trip, and one that we want to do again!

The family's getting bigger! We were just missing Rich, Rachelle, Elisa, and Lydia.
