Spring Break

 

We drove to St. George on April 2nd for the kids spring break. It rained and even snowed on our way there. Kev said it was the first time he has ever driven the camping trailer in snowy weather. 

We camped at Quail Creek State Park. We stayed here last year and enjoyed it. 

We bought the kids an electric scooter at the start of spring break. They enjoyed zipping around the campsite when the weather was decent. 

We are always happy when we can take Ollie with us on our family adventures. 

Parker and Halle drove down after work and joined us. We had to wait for the rain to let up before going to Red Reef. 

It had been several years since we last hiked there.

It was Ollies first hike with us. He did really well and many people wanted to pet him. 

Parker, Halle, and Kev went exploring farther up the canyon. 

I hung out with Hayden, Addy, and Ollie. 

These were the steps in the wall that you had to take to get over. It looked easier going up than coming back down. 

The next morning it had warmed up a little so we went to Sand Hollow. 

The wind made it feel freezing cold. We also got sand blasted and didn't last very long. 

I think Ollie enjoyed it though. He ran around, played in the water, and ended up with a red beard. 

We decided to find some indoor things to do since the weather was cold.  We went to the Fiesta Fun center. 

Everyone had fun playing the arcade games. It brought back memories of when we had season passes to Trafalga many years ago. 

We were surprised when Hayden won this ball from a claw game. They are always hard to win a prize from. We also went bowling while we were there. Parker's goal was to get a higher score than Kev. He has been taking a bowling class at BYU. His bowling classes paid off and he won his Dad. Parker also had the awesome opportunity to fly an airplane while we were down there. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of his experience. Kev's friend, Aaron, lives in St. George and his his own hangar and planes. His son, Porter, is a flight instructor and took Parker for a flight. They flew over our campground and even flew to Arizona. Parker loved every minute of it! It was really generous of Aaron to make this happen for him!
