St. George Rappelling and Climbing

We were able to go with Matt's family to St. George over Labor Day weekend to enjoy some quality family time. We had fun hanging out, swimming, hiking, rappelling, and climbing. Matt and I also celebrated our 6th anniversary over the weekend with the family - we went to dinner at Tucano's the next weekend for a night alone :). Unfortunately, I was a little lacking in the photo department, so I only took pictures of everyone climbing and rappelling, but it was a blast!

Matt overseeing the rappels from the top - sweet hat :)Matt rappellingMatt - almost down, it looks so funny when they are just hanging there!

What comes down must come... up? Matt climbing back up the rock face - it was a tough climb, Matt was the only one who made it all the way back up. The rest of us went the 'easy' way winding out of the canyon.Mason and Uncle Greg watching the climbers - Mason LOVES hanging out with Uncle Greggie!Matt climbing againMason, Maddie, and McKinley trying to stay out of the sun
