It should be a crime to deprive yourself of time well spent 
in the beautiful outdoors, especially come fall. 

Over part of the weekend, we took a quick trip up to meet up with Anne and Coleman and spend some time with Steven, Deanna, and Ginger at their home in Vegas. 

We spent a good portion of our time there climbing in Red Rock Canyon, which is gorgeous desert. I love Nevada (and anywhere else) in the fall and I love spending time with family. This shorty trip was packed with it all and it was a lot of fun. I'm so glad that Tommy has such a wonderful family and that we all get along so well.

It felt so good to get out and "drink in the wild air." 
And to just "get away from it all" and run around in the desert with bare feet. 
I really channelled my inner childhood, which felt soooo good.
The climbing was a blast. I've decided that sandstone beats the gym any day. 
Plus, it's beautiful!
Relaxing with the family and just taking it easy was pleasant. 
And little Ginger was adorable, as usual. She joined in on the climbing fun by having us put a princess up top for her to climb up to and save. She ended up saving all six of them before she sat back to relax.
And Tommy conquered too, of course. He's a champ. At everything.
The boys stuck around a little longer while the ladies got to enjoy the Relief Society General Broadcast. It was inspiring. It's so incredible to be part of a world wide sisterhood with such great women.

Overall, the weekend was great. We had such a fun time exploring, relaxing, and especially enjoying the company of such likable people.

So grateful for seasons, family, nature, inspiration, loving relationships, and getaways.

{I forgot to bring our camera, but Coleman and Anne snapped some picture for all of us. Thanks guys!}

For Memorial Day Weekend I got to go home! Thanks to Kira who drove from SLC. On Saturday Kira, Tibi, Landon and I went to the Valley of Fire and hiked around. The weather couldn't have been better and we had a lot of fun. I love the desert. So pretty. Here are a ton of pictures of our adventure. It was really nice to be home for the weekend and hang out with the family. Thanks Kira! Happy Memorial Day and hello summer! P.S. If you click on the pictures you can see them a lot better.

I love this picture. I think it needs to be in a magazine.

This shadowed canyon was a fun little place to play.

Landon.
I imagine he is thinking, "Don't act like you're not impressed."

I love holidays and adventures! Bring em' on!
How did you spend your Memorial Day Weekend?
