Dad makes it to Spring Break!

 We were able to fly Mike down to St. George on Saturday morning using our sky miles.  Brandon and I went into the airport and up to the observation room to watch his plane land. He was so excited to finally get Dad with us.  Honestly, we all were!

 We quickly ran back to the house and dropped off Mike's bag and then headed out to catch up with our friends, the Laws, at the Glitter Pit.  This huge area just outside where Amanda played in the Ice Breaker tournament is full of these 'crystal' rocks.  We'll have to figure out the correct name. Anyway, you can take as many as you like, but the formation in the rocks was really cool to see!



 A little farther down the road there are some Indian Pictoglyphs (is that right? My brain is slow this morning).  We climbed all over the rocks and Dad even caught a lizard. The kids named him Max Jr after our dog.


Max Jr.
Even though we are in denial about this, Amanda can get her learner's permit in 6 months!  We took the opportunity of dirt roads in the middle of nowhere with limited traffic to teach her how to drive.  She was really nervous, especially when cars would come the opposite direction, but she did great!
That smile just says it all, right?
