Oh, I wish I were in Dixie

We went to St. George last week and had a blast! It was good to get away. The weather was in the 50's mostly, but in SL it was snowing! We went with Rog & Coze's family and Steve & Hillary and their girls. This is the scene in the a.m. The kids love sleeping out together!

Saturday, we had lunch at In -n- Out Burger and then we headed into Snow Canyon! Steve & Hill had found a great rock in Upper Galoot (or lower..I can't remember) that the kids LOVED climbing on! We took lots of pictures, and then a first-time moment occured. B had to pee, so Mikey took his son and taught him how to pee in the wilderness! Touching moment....glad we could document it!

The view was BEAUTIFUL! I wish this one wasn't so backlit. I need to learn my Photoshop.

I love this picture of my boys!

This is our attempt at a family picture, but Brandon was pulling a Mikey. He was 'done with this picture!'

This is the best we could get...

Throwing rocks in the water

After this, some of the little babies needed naps, so we took Rog & his girls with us and hiked on Johnson's trail. It was a mile in/mile out and it was fun! The kids did really well and loved playing in the water that had accumulated at the end of the trail.

Roger decided to be Baer Grylls and 'scale this rock' Then, he had to ask for Mike to help him down! just kidding...he made it on his own.

We thought this rock was cool....looked like a big old turtle!

Our boy found a great log to balance on....and then Elyse got in on the action!

Brandon thought he was cool because he hiked up here all by himself! Go big B!

All the girls found the log now and had to pose....go cute girls!

After we were done, Rog & Mike went golfing and after dinner the girls hit the stores! Fun way to spend Valentine's Day! (We also picked up sushi on the way home! Yum!) Sunday, Steve & Hill left and the rest of us went to the Brigham Young Winter home and the Jacob Hamblin home and then to Kay & Bud's for dinner! We are so lucky to be able to spend time with them and they always make us such a great dinner! Since Roger needed to work Monday, they left for SL right after dinner. I'm sure they got home so late, but it was fun to hang with them all day.

Monday, Mike took the kids swimming, I returned some of the clothes I bought that didn't fit the kids, and we cleaned up to come home. While we waited for towels to dry, we went to get lunch, but St. George was so busy everywhere! I don't know why there were so many people there still at 3pm trying to get lunch! We went from Washington, through St. George downtown area and then ended up back closer to the house at the Pizza Factory on Sunset. By this time, Mike & I were getting anxious to hit the road because of the weather (it looked to be snowing north). We finally got going, made one stop in Meadow for a snack & potty and then high-tailed it all the way home (we got home about 9:15p). We had a great time though and love spending time together!
