Erickson St. George Reunion

St.George Reunion was something we planned over year ago.  Jason and Gini's family was in charge of it because Lillia was also going to be baptized the same time.  Gini made it so fun for everyone.  It was a great week.  We left on a Friday and went until the next Friday.   We all had so much fun!  We made so many memories.

Jace, Sally and I hiked Angles Landing in Zion Park.  It was the hardest hike I have ever been on.  It took us almost 4 hours.  It was straight uphill, climbing on your knees up the mountain kind of hike.  Jace is quite the hiker.  He left me in the dust.  He is fast and not scared of heights.  It was a great experience, but not sure I would want to do it again!

Jace loves hiking.

Jace and Isaac are great buddies!  

The view at at the top of the hike was beautiful.  We had hiked so high it was crazy.  I could hardly look down it made me sick.  Jace would stand on the edge and make me so nervous.

Sally was a trooper!

It was a super hot day too.  

The swimming pool is where we spent most of our time.  The condo had two beautiful pools.   The kids spent hours and hours in the water.

 Classic picture of Jake.  He's really wearing his swimming shorts.  His brothers loved this picture.

Jake and I went to an early morning session to the St.George temple. 

Jake  took the older grand kids to do baptisms for the dead.  

The older cousins:  Evan, Isaac,  Jace, Seth, Sam, Isabelle.

 The original Ericksons.  They are just missing Johnny, Michelle and Jana.

We went Skim boarding for one our activities.  The kids had so much fun in the mud!

Mallory was really good at skim boarding.  It looked easy but it was actually really hard.

After some of us hiked the hard hike, Jake and the the kids came to do an easier hike.  It was a beautiful hike and way easier than the other hike.

Jagger liked hiking but he wanted his Dad to carry him most of the time.

McKenna has become a really good swimmer.   She swam so much in St.George.

Mallory and Ava soaking up the sun.

Madelyn was starting to be braver in the water.  The kiddy pool they had was perfect for Jagger and Madelyn.

Jake made yummy breakfast for us!

We went to Pioneer Park to hike on the red rocks.  My kids love this place.

We also meet Blas, Jake's mission companion.  

Ava, Mallory and Abbie.

These cousins have fun together.

We went to Brigham Young's house, St. George Tabernacle, and visitor center at the temple.

All the cousins at the temple.  The sun was really bright!

 Gini rented a skating rink for just our family.  My kids love roller skating.  Jace was funny, because he was showing up his uncles and his dad with his moves on his roller blades.

Lilia's baptism day was a great day!  We were glad we could come!  Lilia, McKenna, and Morgan all will get baptized in 2015.

The girls and I went to Tuacahn and saw Beauty and the Beast.  It was a very hot night but it was really fun!

The boys went home on Friday, but the girls and I stayed until Sunday.  My sisters and their daughters came to St.George for a fun weekend.(no pics)
