mesquite in the middle.

on the way back from ca, we stopped back in mesquite. we stayed for 6 days or so while we waited for our lake powell weekend. cory was able to work remotely while the kids and i played by the pool. on saturday we snuck up to st. george to hike some and play at the park.

each time we come to mesquite, we catch a lizard and keep as a pet. then, just before we leave to come home, we set it free. this lizard's name is george. he's actually george II. we learned that it's too hot in mesquite to leave a lizard outside...even in the shade! anyways, he was the funniest lizard we've ever seen. his favorite position was standing on 2 feet and having his hands propped up against the side of the cage. when we let it go the night before we left. he stuck around for almost an hour with connor sitting by him. it was pretty precious. connor always gets attached to his lizards so it was good to have time for him to say his goodbyes.

he would jump over and over into the pool.}
