On March 11-13, we took our family down to St. George for a little vacation. The kids were out of school so we thought it would be the perfect time to get away for a bit and enjoy the beautiful weather. We had such a great time!
The kids had a GREAT time swimming in the pool at the hotel. They particularly loved the hot tub...
They enjoyed making some awesome bubble beards and goatees...

On Saturday, we drove over to Snow Canyon and had a wonderful time!! It is such an awesome canyon and the weather was PERFECT.
We first went to a place called "Pioneer Names Trail", which was amazing. It is basically a short trail that leads to a neat little spot in the mountain where some of the pioneers wrote their names in axle grease. I thought it was fascinating. We actually hiked all the way up to the names, which was quite a steep hike. The kids loved it!

Next, we went over to a place in Snow Canyon called the "Sand Dunes." What a cool place! It's basically a ton of sand dunes (go figure) with a lot of soft red sand. It's kind of like a giant sand box. The kids loved playing and digging in the sand.
 |
| Jake loved crawling around in the soft sand |
 |
| Tyler is so sweet with Jacob. He loves to play with him and had a great time with him in the sand. |
|
|
 |
| Brooklyn and Derek had a ball digging a huge hole. |
 |
| They of course had to bury themselves in it. Here's Brooke... |

After the Sand Dunes, we went to a little place called "Jenny's Canyon", which is an awesome little slot canyon that is so much fun to explore. The kids loved climbing in all the fun caverns and things. We had a blast.

After we left Snow Canyon, we went over to the St. George Temple. It is such a beautiful temple. We walked around the grounds and the Visitor's Center for a bit. We met Kevin's brother Alan, his wife, Linda, and daughter Cheyenne there. They live in Cedar City. It was so much fun to see them. We went to dinner with them that night and then went to church with them the next day. It was such a fun trip! We were all sad to see it come to an end. We hope to get down to St. George again soon!
 |
| We snapped a quick picture at the temple. It was getting dark, so the quality isn't the best. Benjamin is totally crashed in the stroller. He had a long day! | | | | | |
