St. George trip in May

Last month we had the privilege of going to St. George with my parents and brothers family. We stayed in my parents condo and went swimming and really enjoyed the nice weather. One day we went to Sand Hollow which was really windy. We set up some shade on the beach while Joel and my dad and brother and Avree went for a ride in the rhino. They were gone for quite a while so I decided to call Joel and check on them. I was able to reach Joel but he was busy trying to dig themselves out of the sand. They high centered right on top of the mountain. Avree was doing great until she decided she wanted out of the rhino and stood on top of the mountain getting blown over and caked with sand. Needless to say, she doesn't want to go back to the sand dunes again.
The next day we went trail riding around hurricane and found some dinosaur tracks and an old fort. Then we ventured to Arizona to Pipe Springs, crossing through Colorado City to site see all the polygamist. Wow that was interesting. The kids had such a fun time, they both passed out in the car on the way home, Avree still holding onto her half eaten laffy taffy. So thanks mom and dad for a wonderful trip, probably our only trip this summer since baby #3 is almost here.

I know, isn't it awesome. We were holding the fort down. It was so windy.
