This is my sister Rachel. She is brilliant, beautiful and funny. She also happens to live in Whales, UK right now and so when she came to visit in April I was thrilled. She spent a total of two weeks in St. George, with my parents, siblings, and me and my kids. She is a trooper as she put up with all the questions and attention with a smile on her face. She and I had the opportunity to cook dinners for the family, I learned some new things about cooking with Bordeaux, and we enjoyed walking and dancing with the kids.
We took advantage of our proximity to Zion National Park and Rachel, Laura and I hiked up Angels Landing one afternoon. It is my favorite place on earth, and I loved the experience. Clint and I climbed that mountain last year on our anniversary, and I was so happy to be back again. Rachel has many opportunities to hike around the grassy hills of England and so the climb wasn’t as taxing on her as it was on me. There is one part of the hike called Walters Wiggles, which being interpreted means, “certain death by heart attack to anyone who enters”……ok not really, but it felt like I was gonna die. It is always worth it though once I reach the top.
All good things must come to an end and I really didn’t want her to go, but the good news is that next time I see her it will be in Whales!

Looks like fun...and you look extra pretty in that middle picture!
We're coming up for the 24th. Will you guys be around?
Don't you just love having sisters. I only have one and it is fun to get together. She is only in Canada, but still far away. Good thing we have some awesome women in our neighborhood who are just like sisters.
Oh no! Angie and Heidi are going to be so bummed she was in town and they missed her. Just last week Heidi asked me if I wanted to go to the UK next spring. She's decided if we go we're crashing at Rachel's... maybe someone should let her know. lol
Lorena,
We will be here for the 24th and would love to see your family!
