Memorial Day Fun!

This Memorial Weekend was the first since Andrew and I have been married that we haven't been in Salt Lake due to the fact that I couldn't find anyone to work for me, we were pretty bummed because we have enjoyed going and placing flowers on all of the graves of his family..well mine now too!!

So because we were here in Cedar Andrew decided that it would be fun to go to Zion's for the day and take Emma on a hike and enjoy being all together...so that's what we did and it was lots of fun!

It was crazy busy as we expected so the ride up to the river walk was packed on the shuttle and we were the lucky ones to have to stand!! It was definitely worth the stand when we finally stopped and got on the walk...it was so beautiful! I absolutely love seeing all the gorgeous creations of our Heavenly Father, and being in awe of all the beauty around us that He has provided for us! Utah is such an Amazing place!!

After we had reached the end of the official walk path we continued to walk up the river. It was definitely cold but the weather was so nice and sunny that the water felt pretty good and your legs became numb so you really couldn't feel it. After a while we could tell that Ems wanted to get out so on our way back our little angel decided to throw her binki in the river and I just happened to see it as it fell into the water so off I went trying to catch up to it floating down the Virgin River thinking 'why didn't I bring another one?' I caught up to it finally and just in time to have Andrew yell at me to tell me that she threw her hat in!!! So off I went again but this time I wasn't so graceful...I caught up to it grabbed it and fell!! What we do for our little tike!!!!

I wasn't sure if Emma would like getting wet because of how cold the water was so at first we tested it with her toes and of course by the time we left she was sitting in it throwing rocks and sucking the water off of the rocks..nasty I know, EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING goes to her mouth. I figured if she eats the bottoms of our shoes what is a little river water going to do??!

On the walk back we decided to put her in the front so she could see better and she soaked in every minute of it! She waved at practically everyone we walked by...we heard lots of 'Hi's' 'how cute' 'what a happy baby' she kept us laughing! She is already such a little social butterfly, not afraid of strangers, loves to meet new people, and baby babbles to everyone!

Great day in beautiful Zions!! Thanks babe for taking us!!
