We left Moab on the 3rd of July and headed for the opposite side of the state. We arrived in St. George in the late afternoon. We got out of our cars at the hotel and about melted right then and there. If we thought it was hot in Moab we were in for a pleasant surprise. It was even HOTTER in St. George. I told Steve I wanted to just get back in the car and drive the rest of the night for home it was so stinking hot.
We were planning on spending 2 nights in St. George. We decided real fast that 1 night was plenty. The main reason we went there was to go to Zion's National Park and hike The Narrows. It is the most funnest thing ever and if you ever want to come and visit us we will be happy to take you (I'm itchin' to go because I had to miss out on this one-details to follow) only you can't come in the hottest heat of the summer because I refuse to go south in July ever again.
Anyway we decided we would get up really early the next morning and head out for The Narrows (it is a river bed you hike in that is surrounded by big cliffs) so we could get done early and head home and hopefully make it to Salt Lake in time for the fireworks, it being the fourth of July and all. And we hoped that it would be early enough that it wouldn't be too hot for Addison.
Well FUN things were in the works for us that night, but they deserve a post all their own. So to make a long story short (I will share it later) I ended up staying in the hotel room once again with Aubrey and Addison and everyone else got up early and left for Zion's. They got back late afternoon and we hit the road bound for home.
It was the neatest thing driving home and getting into the Salt Lake valley at that time of night on Independence Day. We rounded point of the mountain and I counted 31, yes 31 different firework displays. They were really far off, some of them way far away, but it was still cool to see. We pulled into our driveway just as the fireworks by us were going off. We have an excellent view from our deck so everyone headed for that to watch the fireworks. Then we dined on pancakes, eggs and bacon and fell into bed exhausted again.

Looks like ya'll had a lot of fun. We are heading for San Antonio (Fiesta Texas) tomorrow.
That sound like fun. I have always wanted to take Steve to San Antonio. It will probably never happen since we won't ever be going back to TX. Just Kidding! I hope you have a good time. I expect pics.
