Back in Feb., Aus and I had the chance to go with some great friends on a weekend couples getaway to St. George/Vegas. Our first adventure was a bright and early breakfast at the Bear Claw (yummy!) then headed out to hike Angel's Landing in Zions.
Here we are at the trailhead... This picture was NOT edited in photoshop:o)
Mr. Mountain Man...this is how steep it got going up the ledge of the mountain with cliffs on either side. It was INTENSE, but we loved every minute of it!

The ladies of the group:) Brita was booking it the whole time and beat all of us to the top. Some by just a minute or two, me- by about 10 minutes....Hahaha!
Our gaaazorgeous view! I totally want to frame this picture. The wind was really strong and the landing wasn't very big, but the view was to die for! I don't know why we don't do this sort of thing more often. Definately planning on more hikes like this in the future!
The following day, some of us attended the World Wide Leadership Training at the local Stake Center while our spouses slept in and had breakfast. We met up later for a session at the Vegas Temple, but for the ride there of course we had plenty of entertainment. The guys stuck Big Red gum wrappers t their faces to see who could keep it there the longest. I'm not sure who won but they all had red forehead entering the temple. Haha!
The guys kept us entertained the whole trip, especially with their rendition of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" moves.
We had dinner at a tapas bar in Henderson called FireFly. It was amazingly good! Everyone just orders appetizers and shares with the table. We were passing food like crazy to try a little bit of everything. Soooo Yummmy! Then we headed in to see Phantom, which I was so impressed with. I had never seen a show in Vegas before, and the both shows we saw were so fun and entertaining.
Our group at the top of the landing. Everyone was relieved to make it to the top since we braved slick, icy conditions the last half mile of the hike (which was literally straight up!)

After the hike we got all cleaned up and headed into Vegas. We met up with more friends and had dinner together before we went to see Jabbawockeez (which was such a fun show! No pictures though, darn it!)
This was seriously such a fun group to go with...
