Lots and Lots of Swimming:

Playing at the Park in Coral Canyon:


I am just so proud of these kids! First, the car ride to St. George and back was so quiet and peaceful that I didn't know what to do with myself. The kids just colored, read, played, and watched movies. There were no fights, no meltdowns, and no yelling. Success!

Second, they showed off their endurance at Zions. Tre hiked all of Angels Landing, The Emerald Pools, and some of the Narrows. He also climbed every big rock he could, climbed through caves and entertained our friends Haley, Tyler, Ivy, and Lennox. He only complained a tiny bit, but then again, so did I! Anabelle did great too. She hiked up most of Angels Landing and part way down. She hiked up to Emerald Pools and some of the way down and she played in the sand, shimmied up rocks, and climbed in caves. And all of this in just ONE day. Then later that night we went swimming and while the grown ups relaxed in the hot tub the never ending energizer bunnies ran around, swam, jumped, dove, and splashed their way to a VERY restful sleep.

Some highlights of the trip:

• Meeting up with my new BFF :) Haley and her family
• Running into my cousin Emily and her fam in Zions on the Angels Landing hike
• Seeing a lot of animals, mostly deer and chipmunks and lizards
• Hanging out with my kids
• Making memories that will last
• and Having one last vacation in some great weather

Can't wait to do it again next year!!
