{Day 3 Hiking}

Day 3 in St George we were happy to have Teri and Jace's family join us as well as Lesli's. We did some fun hiking in Snow Canyon, hit up the bounce place again (pics in following post), and had fun swimming. Here are the hiking pictures.....

Ashlyn offered to watch our kids in their suite....so off the adults went to a restaurant. We had lots of fun...a little too much fun (as you can see Lesli can't contain herself in this picture)

We returned back to the hotel to find our babysitters sleeping....

Kids sleeping squished in chairs.....

On the floor....

and in the rooms....except for Kade who was enjoying leftover pizza and watching cartoons.

Day 2 was lots of fun....after breakfast we met at an indoor trampoline place....wall to wall trampolines and lots of fun obstacle courses, dodgeball areas, etc. The kids loved every minute. After lunch the boys were sweet and let Lesli and I do some damage at the outlets...we had a great time! Then we all went to dinner at The Pizza Factory (where Lesli discovered my love for breadsticks....I couldn't stop eating them) and then at the kids request: Frozen Yogurt. Kade won the prize for grossest flavor combination: Tigers blood with gummi bears. He ate every bite.

That night we went swimming again, my kids love to be in the water (what kid doesn't?)

Kade pushed his Daddy in and thought that was so funny!

Cannonball!

Cute Rhett loved the hot tub.

The kids love it when Cody throws them in....again Daddy, again!!

Turkeys!

{St George Day 1}

This summer we wanted to get away with the kids for a few days....we love St. George for hiking and cooler weather at night so we decided we'd go there! Cody turned it into a mini-Ashton reunion and those that could come from his family met us there!

We arrived Wednesday night and had fun swimming in the hotel pool. Thursday morning we met Danny and Lesli's family, and Dustin and April's family at IHOP for breakfast. The kids outnumbered us 10 to 6...but they were so well behaved and so excited to see each other.

After breakfast Dustin's family continued on their way up to Logan, and Lesli's family headed up with us to Zion's canyon for some hiking. The drive through the canyon was amazing, it is so beautiful there!

It was a fun hike - very steep drops off the side in some parts, and windy at the top! That means Kade and I were buddies most of the way (it didn't help that before we started hiking he said "I had a dream that I just jumped off a cliff!")

After a gourmet lunch of lunchables and oreos we made our way back down.

Cody and Danny took the older boys (Rhett, Ethan, and Ashton) on a longer hike while Lesli and I took Kade and Lucy to an indoor playplace. They zonked out in the car on our way there, pretty cute.
