St. George-March 2013

I am way behind on my blogging and I have a ticking clock...that of this baby due any day. With that being said, I am going to skimp big time on the journaling of this post. St. George has become our second home and we have a fabulous time, but we do a lot of the same things so I don't feel the need to be too wordy anyway!
Oh wait, we did do something new and exciting this trip! We did this awesome hike just 20 minutes outside of St. George. It was so much fun to watch my kids take this on with so much excitement! They did great too-even when I wanted to carry Karoline, she insisted on walking herself. Miss Independent. The hike started at Red Cliffs Reserve and took us through a mini slot canyon and to two different pools. It was absolutely gorgeous and we had the most beautiful hiking weather. Will definitely be going again!

The sun was out, the temperature was 80 degrees, the kids were ready for some pool time. Unfortunately, the pool doesn't get heated until April 1st and so we were two weeks too early. That didn't stop my kids from getting in for just a second, however, and they had a blast playing in the hot tub and with all of the water toys.
Karoline loved the water gun in particular...

 So did Capri...

Roman was on the tennis courts with his water gun...because that's where Cheri and Grandpa were...and they got a few splashes to cool them off!
Here is Roman at the hot tub...

Now I can't stop journaling! I have to explain these next few pictures. Roman and Capri started learning how to ride a 2 wheeler last fall, but were never confident on their own. Tucker and I decided that this would be the perfect time to build up their confidence and get them going so they could ride all by themselves. It was genius because we put them on the tennis courts first where they had this nice big area to practice. The next day we took them out on the street, but it's about as quiet of a street as possible, so we really didn't have to worry about cars. Tucker was a champ to teach these kids. I would step in and get them anxious whereas Tucker was much more cool, calm, and collected! Now these kids ride their bikes daily and can't get enough of them. Too, Karoline got to practice her new scooter she got for her birthday. She did awesome right away!

 And the kids and their bikes in action!

 Our family and their sweet wheels!

And lastly, another day at the Main Street Splash Park. It was a great time spent splashing, sun bathing, and even riding on the carousel nearby. Across the street is Judd's Candy store so we stopped there before going home...mmmm!

Another St. George trip for the books!
