St. George - tons of fun

While we were in St. George we were able to visit the temple grounds. We have been to St. George several times, but we have never seen the temple up close. The kids thought it was really neat and especially loved the display in the visitors center that showed us where the Garden of Gethsemane was in relation to The Tomb and many other important places.
We swam at the hotel pool twice and went to the sprinkler park twice as well. The kids really liked climbing on all of the rocks and splashing in the little river at the park.
Blake was so cute. He would find boys that were a little bit older and follow them around copying whatever they were doing. They would sit so Blake would sit. They would go on their tummies so Blake would too. The funniest part was when one little boy sneezed twice and Blake pretended to sneeze twice also.
It was so great seeing Tanya and Erik while we were there. They swam at our pool and came to visit us at the water park. We were also able to have some lunch together before heading out. We can't wait to see them next week because Tanya will be having her baby any day now!

We may not take the most extravagant vacations, but we sure know how to create wonderful memories to last a lifetime.

What fun!! I like to people watch, but watching Blake is the best. You won't need to exercise while you're visiting grandparents this month, because you'll be running after him. You have your turn in Utah and Trent can have his turn in Montana.
