St. George

September 18, 2011 By Christie

For Christmas my mom and her hubby got us a hotel room in St. George and tickets for Dillon and I to take the boys to the Little Mermaid play.  Such a great present! We headed out Thursday morning. On our way there, one of the exits (Scipio, for any of those interested) had a petting zoo by the Flying J.  It was so nice to stop and eat lunch there and let the kids have fun.DSC_0312DSC_0267 A zebra!  Although you couldn’t pet it…DSC_0270 The goats you could hold—the rabbits you could hold, if you could catch one (which Dillon did).  There were a few animals that you could get right up to.   The kids loved it.DSC_0295DSC_0305DSC_0308DSC_0298 Then it was to our hotel for some fun.DSC_0327DSC_0330DSC_0314DSC_0326DSC_0328DSC_0332DSC_0338 Carson was so lucky to have his birthday while we were there.  DSC_0347 DSC_0354 One of his presents was a remote control truck, which he took everywhere with us and drove it as much as he could. DSC_0359 We went to Snow Canyon Friday morning.  Very beautiful!DSC_0362DSC_0368DSC_0371 I love how Bailey walked with her arms out, balancing herself.  And oh my word, she had SO much sand in her shoes!  DSC_0420DSC_0384DSC_0396DSC_0403DSC_0400 Devon decided that he LOVES to climb and hike.  He kept saying how much he loved it.  He really did a great job and thankfully isn’t really afraid of heights much.DSC_0408DSC_0411DSC_0414DSC_0392 We went on a couple easy hikes.  This one had some pioneer names that we hiked up to.DSC_0427DSC_0429DSC_0430 Once up though, the younger boys and I kind of had a little panic attack, because it was steep and high!  I’m trying to calm Carson down in the next picture, although I was a little weak in the legs at this point too. DSC_0434 Too bad you can’t tell in the pictures, but do you see Bailey in this picture on that little rock down there?  Yah, it was high.  Dillon took her down first and came back to help the rest of us.  DSC_0436 She was so good and stayed put the entire time we were headed down.DSC_0445 Dillon has no fears, I swear, and got us all down in no time.  It wasn’t so bad after all ;).  Normally I can keep my fear of heights under control, but once the boys were up there and Dillon with Bailey, I kind of had  a little moment of panic that we wouldn’t be able to keep them all safe!DSC_0439 Jenny’s Canyon was so amazing.  I felt like we were in Indiana Jones.DSC_0450DSC_0462DSC_0466 More swimming after the canyon…DSC_0485DSC_0489 … then we ate dinner with family at IHOP and headed to the play!  DSC_0511DSC_0512DSC_0513DSC_0514DSC_0516 - CopyDSC_0518 Tuachan did an amazing job on The Little Mermaid.  They had some great effects and we all loved it. And of course before we headed home, we had to drive past the temple!  Isn’t it gorgeous?!DSC_0520 DSC_0523 We were so busy on Carson’s birthday having all sorts of fun, that we didn’t have time to eat his cupcakes until the way home the next day. DSC_0528 A pretty quick trip, but so much fun, and again, such a great Christmas present!  It was fun that Carson could celebrate while on vacation, as well.

Memorable Moments June 2015

~Ruby says "Thank You" when you give her anything. Except it's more like "Day Oooo." I love it. She's also trying harder to say please (or Peeeeze) for things she wants. What a polite little girl :).

~Yesterday Bailey came down with the Clone Trooper costume on, which is 4 sizes too big I'm pretty sure, and her bull horns on. It was awesome. And sums up this girl pretty darn well.

~Carson told us that he was the laughing stock of Primary on Sunday. He meant to say the Class Clown :).

~Devon's so funny these days. If you catch him doing something he shouldn't be, he gets an innocent little smile and then starts rolling his eyes everywhere except looking at you. :)
