St George- March 2013

Yeah, I am three months behind on blogging. I guess that is what happens after Daphne turns a year old and I stop my monthly posts. Oh well. A lot has happened since then. Hopefully I can do lots of small brief posts and get caught up so I can order another blog book!:)

Back in March, we went to St. George for the weekend to visit Dan's dad and his grandma. Daphne learned a few new tricks while we were there. She learned how to talk on the phone versus just playing with it as well as how to stand up! The second one was much more exciting. I love when Daphne learns new tricks. She is funny to watch. She was so proud of herself that she would squeal and clap her hands, look at us, in hopes we would join her, and then when we did, giggle and clap so hard that she would topple over. Such fun.

She also loved crawling over to her Grandpa's picture table and pointing out her cousin Boston's picture all day long. Guess she missed him:)

We took her to ride the Merry-Go Round, went swimming, visited Grandma Crandall, and went to Zion's while we were there.

 At Zion's, we hiked the three legs of Emerald Pools. Note, in the picture to the right, Paul pushed the stroller (or rather carried it as you could only push it through the first leg before it was mostly climbing) the whole way there and back empty. Yup. Daphne stayed with Dan the whole time! It was funny to watch Paul carry it everywhere. Not sure why he didn't even fold it up.

Second, we hiked to the beginning of the Narrows trail. This time Daphne actually used her stroller. On a side note, we ran into the Barkers from our ward during this trail. It was funny, because we had ran into them pretty much every day of our visit in the most random places. Their kids were ecstatic to see we were on the same trail as them and had to speed up to catch up to us. Small world.
