summer adventure #1: the subway

So.... i know it's been forever since i blogged last. But oh well, i'm over it. So here's what i've been up to lately. At the end of May I went down to Saint George with Quinn and his brother and sister-in-law and about 7 other people. We stayed in Quinn's sister-in-law's grandparent's house down there (that made sense, i promise). The first day we went to Crawdad Canyon and did some climbing, which was way fun. Then that night we went into Vegas for a few hours. My friend put $2 in a machine and ended up winning like $75, lucky duck. We didn't get home from Vegas till about 3am, so the next day we just slept in and chilled at the house. Then the next day we got up and drove to Zion National Park to hike the subway. It was awesome. We had to swim through the frigid river that ran through the bottom of the canyon. And I mean we had to SWIM through it. Not just wade. And it was bloody cold. We also had to rappel down a few places. It was awesome. All except for the switchbacks at the end. Those were simply horrible. They were straight up! But all in all it was a splendid little adventure. Here are some pics:
