Zion

AHHHH!!! I really wish I could remember to blog in backwards order. It would make more sense if you read the post below this one--FIRST! I just get so excited that I forget how this all works!

We found Zion within our own family when we went hiking together at Zion's National Park. We have not had a family trip, with JUST our family for a very long time! It was a wonderful experience, and we will cherish the memories that we made together! I was so excited to take the kids hiking! It is one of my favorite things to do, so I always hope that they enjoy it as much as I do! The weather was so beautiful! We all came home with rosy cheeks and happy smiles! When we got back to our motel we took the kids swimming in the pool again and it was much warmer than that morning! We swam until we were tired and had pizza for room service, watched a good movie and went to sleep! Now we are ready for a return to our everyday lives in the winter weather!

Family Fun in the...SUN?

I know that this picture doesn't look much to you, but it tells a story for us! Our family got to take advantage of Scrubba's long weekend from school! He didn't have school on Monday or Tuesday so we decided to go with daddy to St. George! Daddy has a few accounts down there and we thought it would be fun to see some sun for a few days. We didn't even get here until Sunday night so we didn't see any sun on that SUNday! Monday morning the kids were sooooo excited to play in the pool. I looked outside and saw...FROST on the cars! The pool is said to be 85 degrees, so we thought it would be okay to try it out, for the kids of course! Here are some pictures of that wonderful morning splash! Okay, so I thought that the top two pictures would show up after my writing, I don't blog enough to really get all of the little tricks down! Anyway, it was cold, cold, cold outside! The 85 degree pool didn't seem warm enough to make up the difference. Finally the kids and daddy went to the hot tub....being pregnant didn't allow for me to follow! They had a wonderful time warming up in there and splashing around together! I love that the pictures show all of the steam. It was a fun way to start our day, that did end up in the sun!
