St George '23

 Hey!

Lulu and TJ weren't able to go to St George with us this year. TJ had to do a summer math class and Lulu was working and playing flute in The Music Man.

Here's a recap of the fun I had with Hammer and Adz:

We stopped for lunch at BK:

Here we are in our condo, playing games with cousins:

Our first swim:

Action shot:

Only one morning we woke up early, and this day we did a bunch of stuff. We explored a new park called Canyon Park:

Looked at the new temple:

Hammer took this picture:

And then looked at this cute old farm that is still a working farm turned into a park. It's called Heegmiller:

After that it was time for a picnic, swim, and water games at our cousins' pool:

Gramma bought a lot of pizza for all of us for dinner!:

Dessert:

Great Gramma's condo:

These two boys got to go to Tuacahn and see Tarzan. It was Adz first time at the theater! You both enjoyed it a lot:

The next day, more swimming:

then chick fil a lunch for the kids and a restaurant for the adults:

Great Gramma bought me a massage at the massage school by the condo, which was really nice and relaxing! 

Craft time! Adz chose these cool cars that were a little tricky but fun to put together! We put batteries in them after they were made and colored and they worked!:

I saw Hunchback at Tuacahn that night:

We slept in and then it was off to the pool the next morning:

After lunch we explored a new placed called the Greater Zion Visitor Center with cousins. It's small, but it's free and fun! It has info about exploring the area:

and info about animals in the area. You guys loved watching the tortoises:

They have a scavenger hunt that you did and earned a sticker:

It was definitely worth a stop:

Since we were downtown, we stopped at the cute candy store too:

Your loot:

After dinner that night, my siblings and I gave Grandpa a retirement gift which was a telescope: 

That night was sunset/night swimming. We went back to Uncle Andrew's pool and it was such a beautiful night at the pool and lagoon. Here's Hammer and Preston jumping in:

And Adz enjoying the views:

Saturday we checked out the downtown Farmer's Market and bought a few treats:

Swimming at the family pool!:

And then we used our free float coupons that we got out of our Tuacahn booklet:

Our last night we had a performance at the Tabernacle again. The kiddos sang a song!:

Here we are, minus Uncle Andrew:

and here's my cute little family outside the tabernacle:

Pretty sunset!:

Breakfast at Gramma's before we left to drive home:

And some cute little palm trees:

When we got home TJ put together the last car, which was a tank:

It was a fun trip, even though it was really hot. 

Thanks for loving our St George tradition. You guys make it more fun! 

Love,

Mom
