Dear Kiddos,
In July we had our annual St George trip, and all 4 kids came with me! That was fun. We stayed in the 107 condo but did lots of things with cousins, like our very first night we had a night swim:
The next day was Sunday. We went to church and to the temple visitor center:
Gramma and Grandpa's friends are missionaries there and they took us on a little tour. We spent a lot of time checking out this copy of a stained glass mural that's originally in the Rome temple visitor center:
Gramma had provided lots of meals for us to eat together:
One morning we went to Snow Canyon. We did Jenny's Canyon:
and the White Rocks Amphitheater:
At the amphitheater we found a pond with millions of tadpoles. We adopted one and took it back to the condo (he only lived 2 days in the water bottle):
For our craft day, this year we did sticker painting! It was pretty fun. Hammer was kind to help out the littles:
Cute cousins:
TJ went back to Snow Canyon that evening with me and Jen and Brent. We wanted to check out what was Island in the Sky. We noticed it while driving through the park but it's not on the park's info or on google maps. Turns out it's a box canyon with a technical climbing route up the wall. It's pretty in there, and a short walk from the road:
Across the street is a bridge and a little paved walkway. It such a pretty time of night:
We swam in different pools every day:
One afternoon we all went to a movie, which wasn't a great movie, but it was fun to be together:
We went out for tacos after, for Taco Tuesday:
That night the girls, and Grandpa, went to see Grease:
A storm was blowing in the next morning:
We found the guitar sculpture downtown:
Hit up Judd's:
Checked out Greater Zion Visitor Center:
and then when we came out the storm was upon us. We heard/saw one of the biggest lightenings I've ever seen in Utah. We made our way up 1 block to the Pioneer Courthouse. We ran through the rain to the back door and it was locked. It appeared that they weren't open that day. However, someone saw us and came to open the door and then we got a personal tour of the place! That was cool.
This shirt cracked us up:
There's an old piano upstairs that Uncle Andrew got to play. We had a private mini concert:
After that we changed into our church clothes and did baptisms at the new temple. It was still raining when we went inside:
but look how beautiful it was when we came out!:
After the temple it was time for the arcade and laser tag:
A few pictures taken after dinner at the condos:
One final play for the boys, and I got to tag along. We had a big group there!:
It was the boys' first time to see Les Mis, and they said they liked it.
Alas, it was then time to go home. We had a fun time huh?
Love,
Mom
