We spent the day hiking around St. George today. The weather was perfect (around 65 degrees). First we went on a 3.5 mile hike to see some ancient Native American petrogyphs along the Santa Clara river. Claire pretty much ran the entire time. She is such a runner. See the pics below.
Can you spot two animals in the rock formations here?
After hiking we went to the historic St. George Tabernacle where we took this out of focus picture at the rostrum.
Then on to the St. George Temple grounds.
Claire's Birthday is tomorrow and we had her birthday party tonight. She loves princesses, so we had a princess party with a couple of her little friends.
Quinn being cute as usual...as a side note, he's almost 9 months now and is crawling and starting to pull up. He is such a wiggly happy little guy.
The birthday girl and her princess cake
I thought of the idea, but then Casey wanted to execute it. He did a great job!
We decorated princess crowns.
The little princesses.
We colored princess pictures.
Played pin the crown on the princess.
And opened presents. It was a fun night.
Claire is such a fun girl. Its great to hear the amusing things that come out of her mouth. I love to see her little personality develop. She loves kids and running around. She can walk or run for literally a mile or two. She never wants to be carried or ride in the stroller. She is starting to have such a good memory. Lately she has been telling me things that she remembers that happened like six months ago. She is so happy and kind and very obedient, even though she has her two-year-old moments. We love having her in our family!
