Casey won a free 2 night stay down in St. George this summer from his work. We just barely were able to use it this last weekend. The drive down wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but towards the end there was just a whole lot of nothing to look at! It was almost as bad as driving through Wyoming, almost. We were given tickets to the Tuacahn ampitheater to see Grease. We were a week too early to see Thriller but I still really liked Grease. 
I just got a new camera and I'm still trying to figure out all the different features. This pic was supposed to be all black and white except for the red in Casey's shirt. I guess it almost did it!
Before the show they had a little preshow entertainment. There were lots of people gathered around so Casey and I decided to go see. This is what we saw.
These old ladies were from Nevada. They had a whole dance routine they went through. Some of their costumes were a little different. One was short shorts and fishnet tights. Yikes!
The next day we went to Zions National Park. Casey was excited to do the Narrows again. The last time we did it, we had to turn back because of flash flood warnings. So this time he wanted to go all the way. The water was only 47 degrees and there was a chilly breeze when you were in the shade. I actually had on my thicker winter coat (mainly because I forgot my jacket at the hotel). Casey forgot to bring a jacket at all and was in his swimsuit and a short sleeved shirt. So here we were walking down the path to the water, me in my winter coat and Casey in his swimming suit. Casey felt like we got a few weird stares from people! We got down to the water and dipped our hands in. Freezing!!! We decided not to go down the Narrows. We weren't prepared for that cold water! We saw other people getting ready to go in the water with their Neoprene boots and even dry suits. On the path back up the scenery was beautiful. We saw a ton of cute chipmunks and we even saw a tarantula!
Since we didn't do the Narrows we did a different hike up to Echo Canyon. It was a fun hike! The only part I didn't like was when we had to hang on to a chain and go around on a cliff. I'm kind of scared of heights! On some parts I felt like just sitting down and scooting along!! Here are some pics of our journey to Echo Canyon.

What a fun little getaway! And the chain thing.... I would have been done right about then. :)
And I LOVE the pictures of Brielle on your other post! I'm so glad everything got finalized and you were able to bless her and have her sealed to you! Do people tell you that she LOOKS like she belongs in your little family?? Maybe it's just the picture I looked at, but I totally think she looks like Casey!!!
