The Bugs of Southern Utah

Paul and I spent a wonderful weekend in southern utah. While it snowed in idaho falls and provo, I got sunburnt and probably the best chaco tan lines I have ever had! My allergies were killing me the whole weekend. I guess when I was shaking branches I found pollen instead of bugs. We had a really good time though. The first night was spent at Lytle Ranch in the most southwest corner of Utah.
The sunset was amazing!














Paul and I had a blast looking for scorpions...although we didn't find any the first night we did have a great time with the blacklight and pretended to be starwars superstars with fearsome lightsabers
We missed the smashing pumpkins concert :( which was sad but really we don't need to go to a concert for good music...We dug through the plant litter and found beetles and crickets. I know this is a bug catching trip but I can't get over my love for amphibians!
The second day we made some stops in which my allergies were exceedingly bothersome and we weren't finding much
so Paul and I kept occupied by taking pictures and making sweet movies!

The second night was spent in this amazingly beautiful campground by st george.




My dinners didn't really turn out too well. I should really stop volunteering for things I don't know how to do.

There was some good brother/sister/bug bonding....
