Labor Day Weekend

When Labor Day weekend was coming up, we decided to make a final trip to St. George. It was So. Much. Fun. We switched it up this time by staying with our friends, the Ross', at their grandparent's place, along with the Fords. My parents, Richard and Elizabeth were all down as well staying at my parents condo. We spent a lot of time together swimming, hiking, hanging out, and taking awkward family photos. What a great group!
The first day we swam at the Ross' pool. There was a pond surrounding the pool and the kids loved watching the ducks. Especially Koko and Sara...
There was a hot tub inside and my kids are obsessed! It's St. George for heaven's sake-plenty warm outside! But, the warm water called them in for a few minutes before they were out and at it again in the pool...


We spent another afternoon at the Main Street Splash Park. The only thing that would make this even more fun for my kids is to have buddies with them.
These two were so cute and finding leaves to float down the stream...

Danny is a year older than the twins but he plays so well with them. Roman was having the time of his life as they ran hand in hand up and down the stream...and pushing out everyone in their way. Boys will be boys??
It was 97 degrees but that didn't stop us from taking a bit of a hike. You can't even call it a hike if you are above the age of 5, but my kids thought it was a perfect little stroll! We first went up to the Dixie Rock. The kids were great until we got to the top-Capri and Koko were not too excited about going anywhere near the edge, like 20 feet from the edge. That's ok, they were such troopers nonetheless.








We also hiked the Crack and I couldn't believe that Capri and Roman wanted to do it! I was so proud of them!! Tucker stayed with Karoline so I could take Capri. Cheri lead the way with all of the little boys-what an awesome aunt. :) We were laughing along the way as people would get stuck, including my dad. He has done it before, but he really got stuck this time, had to pull out some awesome moves to get unstuck, and turned around. It was pretty funny...for the rest of us.
We swam some more at my parents condo and yet it was not your ordinary swimming day. We pulled out the cheer stunts and launched all the little boys flying into the air. It was awesome. Cheri and Elizabeth showed us they still had it as well and the kids loved it!
Here is Roman...
Such a fun trip to end the summer. We can't wait til next spring to do it all over again!
