We took an awesome trip down to St. George over Spring Break! It was the most relaxing trip I have taken in years! We went with some awesome friends, that happen to live a couple doors down from us, the Lloyds. I realize more and more each vacation that I truly prefer hotels over camping. I mean, who wouldn't
PREFER to have a comfortable bed, hot shower, swimming pool, continental breakfast, cable TV...all over a sleeping bag on the ground (even if you do have a mat underneath), a tent that hopefully keeps the bugs out, the night sounds keeping you awake, the heat or the cold - take your pick. Either way, hotels are the way to go.
Here are just a few of many pictures we took. It was so hard to choose which ones to show. We did some hiking up Snow Canyon. We first took a little hike to some of the Lava Caves.

It was so cold that day. It was in the upper 60's but it was so windy it was freezing! We cut the hiking short this day. Kayla, JoeJoe and Mom.
Our swimming pictures don't do us justice. We swam twice a day for 3 days. The kids couldn't get enough of the swimming. Plus after the first day we went and bought the kids goggles which they absolutely loved.
Kayla had a huge milestone! She learned to swim without her arm floaties. She could swim across the pool without help. She also learned to dive down to the bottom of the pool and get a rock or a swimming ring.
JoeJoe was a regular old fish. Even though he wore that life jacket the whole time it didn't slow him down. He jumped in the pool probably 200 times. A few time he freaked us out because he would jump in and just lay on his stomach with his face in the water. Turns out he was checking out the pool with his new goggles. He'd quickly come up for air and cough out some water.
Our second day of hiking was so much better! It was such a gorgeous day and not too cold. We went to the Petrified Dunes and hiked to the top of the giant dune. Here are the kiddos: McKenzie, Lexi, Brayden, JoeJoe and Kayla.
Our cute little family! Yes we are Ute fans!
Everyone except Kim - it was either her or I not in the picture so...
We had to take a picture with just us. :)
With the kids running around in the background...
And of course, the boys had to take a fun picture. Geez, I had no idea Scott was so strong!
