SAINT GEORGE!

so we went to st. george and absolutely had a blast! we started the long drive on thursday and drove until 10: 00 and then finally got there! we woke up the next morning and ate a really yummy breakfast , got dressed and headed to Landen's game {we were there for a tournament . }

the weather was gorgeous and we were loving it. we went to a incredible museum with stuffed animals set up in very realistic scenes with growls and tweets for sound affects capriel was scared out of her wits and clung tightly to dad the whole time nonetheless we had a awsome time.

we swam in a out door pool, and went to a rock
"Dixe rock" it was red and dusty but we loved it every second. all of us kids leaped from rock to rock and climbed all over.
we watched some teenagers go climbing down this huge forty foot rock . capriel was inspired and started with a running start to attempt to leap over the monster rock we about had a heart attack.


after that we trooped back to the car in pursuit of dinner. we wandered around for a half a hour trying to decide what to get and getting lost, wich resulted in dad calling his boss and asking for a recomendation . we spent ten minutes looking for the spot only to find they were full. at last we settled for hamburgers and fries and went happily back to our hotel to eat it and watch the opening ceremonies for the olympics they were incredible.


the next day we went to another game and played at a park . then we went on a incredible hike where all around us were huge red rocks . the contrast with the rocks and the sky was beautiful the ground was very much like clay and the grass thrived in it adding to the palette of beautiful colors that we soaked in then we went back to the car, ate lunch and headed home.


when we finally returned home we stared to take off capriels shoes only to discover a thick coating of red dust on them. we inquired what it was and she replied ," dixie wock" it was soo cute. here are some pictures
