SG in May

 We had half of the day Friday just with our little family before Grandma and Grandpa and Cec and her 3 young ones joined us in SG. We opted for one of our favorite hikes that morning:

And then everyone arrived!

Saturday morning Cec and I surprised Maddie and Caroline telling them we were taking them to get their ears pierced right then! They were so excited and so surprised and also really anxious :)

 Lining up the marker dots just right on Cares' ears before getting pierced:

And the after shot! She was so brave and her lobes are just even prettier than before.

 

A little Texas Roadhouse for the pre-birthday girl (we went on Saturday since her bday was Sunday)> Funnies thing is that Caroline and Maddie were totally thinking our server (in the picture) was really cute and got all goofy and nervous when he'd come to our table!

Bentley's birthday gift from my parents (and check out that long long hair that was in huge need of a cut! He fluffed it out like this all weekend and it was pretty cute):

 

Another hike — this time up to see the petroglyphs just past Ivins: 

 (posting this picture way after the fact is making me miss those hands and my sweet daddy so much...)

 After a bunch of rain that weekend we had a gorgeous, hot day on Monday (of course — the day we only had a few hours there before needing to head home)

 

Wiggles out and the last cupcakes eaten just before we drove back north: 

 I'm forever grateful for these SG memories with such loving adventurous grandparents.
