Sunny St. George

We have just arrived home from our annual St. George trip. Jeremy especially enjoyed the trip this year because he was able to play this year instead of getting ready to run a marathon. Jeremy was able to play three rounds of golf with his brothers, we went swimming everyday, the boys played continuously with their cousins, we played hours of cards, watched movies, visited the Dinosaur Tracks at Johnson's Farm, did a little shopping, and had an all around good time. Here are a few photos from the trip:
Here is a picture of Connor "saving" Shaylee in the pool. I thought this picture was so cute, they had such a good time playing together.
Parker loved the swimming pool. He is a little water bug! He looks a little unsure on his Dad's shoulders in this picture, but that didn't stop him from endlessly diving into the pool. We taught him to move around the pool by sitting on a water noodle like a horse. He rode his "pink horse" all over the pool.
Grandma Valerie had little activities for the kids to do each day. On this day they were finger painting outside on the patio. They really enjoyed all of the fun activities they got to do.

Here are a few pictures from the Dinosaur Tracks at Johnson's Farm. I really found Johnson's Farm fascinating. There were all sorts of impressions of dinosaur tracks, wave patterns, bug footprints, fossils, dinosaur teeth and a few dinosaur bones. Connor really enjoyed "dinosaur tracking" by following the painted dinosaur foot prints all over the building. (I think we have 50 pictures of painted dinosaur tracks on the floor, but it kept him happy and busy.) We even got to measure our hand next to a dinosaur track.
We spent a lot of time just hanging out in the condo. In this picture Uncle Terry was keeping all of the kids entertained by playing video games. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing week!

I need a vacation. Thank goodness we all have something so relatively close yet seems different enough for it to be a vacation.
