The drive back home...

On the way home we stopped for some good times in Utah. Temple Square was so fun - especially with our picnic from "The Pie".

 Then on to ST. GEORGE...

We began the fourth of July with a morning hike. HEAT Shock!!!!

 Then cooled off with some water in Lita & grandpa's yard.

 That night, the fireworks show was awesome in St. George. Lucy and I especially had great seats FROM the sound proof car! It was a happy day. God Bless America!

 Later on we got to greet the Saari cousins as they arrived from Colorado.

 And go for some sweet hikes in Zions National Park.

 The 5 Bairdypants Grandboys.

And 1 Bairdy Grandgirl. (too cute in that suit!)

Fun redrock water park:

 And a 9-mile run for Eric, courtesy of Bret. Thanks Bret!

Here's Paul & Pili with all their six grandkids together.

 And their 3 big kids...

It was so much fun to stay with you in your beautiful home and enjoy the blazing HEAT! Thank you Lita and Grandpa!
