Desert Holiday





These are some photos from the last week in St. George Utah.  Shannon's folks live here and it is always an anticipated opportunity to come and visit.  Usually we can expect to have all sunshine and warm weather; this year was an anomaly with almost 2 weeks of snow and a white Christmas!


We managed to get in a few hikes as a family.  Aurora is right at home in the back-pack, there has maybe only been a handfull of days of her life that she hasn't spend some time in a carried contraption. What that means is she is pretty mellow as she is carried across the desert, up mountains, and rock climbing trips.  We are beginning to think that we can take her skiing in the backcountry this way (moderate safe terrain only).

My good friend totally did that! Well, actually, she was snow shoeing, but pretty similar, right? She was about 7 or 8 months pregnant and her husband carried their 1 1/2 year old on his back. He (the little boy, not the husband) slept most of the time and all enjoyed the day. Anyway, it's totally doable with a mellow kid.
