the girls took a walk with grandpa through the hills of st. george.

emma got back and told me, "i did some posing and we got some excellent pictures." she gets funnier and funnier.

i had red, dusty dirt everywhere. i don't think their shoes will ever fully recover. they had so much fun that it was worth it, though.
i would like to give the disclaimer that no children or animals were harmed during this photo shoot. they seem really high, but i am assured that they were, in fact, quite close to the ground. yes, we braved the freezing (read: FREEZING) cold weather and went swimming. mommy was not a happy camper and had the blue lips as evidence. the girls had a great time. i just kept finding warm spots in the pool (please don't let me find out they were peepee spots) and loitering. i do believe the source of the heat was the water jets on the bottom of the pool. i hope. anyway, every time we visit utah we must make an appearance at the "frog pool." so here's lucy in her bathing suit and her furry boots. freezing...i kid you not.
