Trip to St. George

 We just went on a trip to St. George after school got out.  It was a lot of fun to just go and play together.  The kids' favorite thing to do was play in the pool.  We did more of that than anything.  The pool had a waterfall at one end that you could go behind.  Breanna loved playing in the kiddie pool and making new friends.

 We also went up Snow Canyon one day and played at the Sand Dunes and did a little hiking on the cool rocks.  We had to wait until evening because it was 107 degrees this day.  By the time we got to the sand dunes to play, it was all shaded - yeah!  I think it would have been fun to hike around a little longer, but it was getting dark.  Next time we will go in the Spring and spend more time up the canyon.  :)

 One day we also went over to see some Church historical sites like The Brigham Young home.  Right next to the old tabernacle is this wonderful park.  It has a Carousel for the kids to ride and a splash pad and stream to play in.  It was lots of fun.  It was a nice way to stay cool in all that heat!

 On another day we headed to a place called Red Cliff Camp Ground near Leeds.  We played for a while near the day use area of the campground in this stream.  There were lots of Crawdads, and the kids had fun catching them in cups.  I had never seen Crawdads before.  After we played in the stream for a while, we took a short (but hot) hike to a swimming hole in the mountains.  You can jump off the rock into the water.  I didn't get pictures of that, but the kids had a good time.  All in all, it was a fun trip.  Always nice to get away.  :)
