Looking back! The trip from H-E-double hockey sticks!

In April we went with Alan to a CPA convention in sunny St. George! It looked like a nice break from the snow so we headed out. We had a bit of a rocky start with a flat tire, 2 broke shocks, and a hour before we arrive our cargo carrier opened and shoes and diapers went flying down the highway! We luckily collected all shoes, toys, diapers and formula scattered on the highway. Tried unsuccessfully to retie our cargo carrier (Alan's brother lost our strap) we set out again this time adding a few house since we could not drive the speed limit ): The silver lining to this story was that ALLL of the kids fell asleep at the same time (this never happens!)
Our luck continued when we stayed in a half million dollar house!! It was an awesome green home that we all loved. We had a busy week while Alan was at his conference. Bumper boats, swimming, walks, hiking, riding on some sweet bike trails, and Zion's! Here are a million pics!

This is at Zion's. We hiked alll day and finally at the end Bronson quietly zonked out...So did Alan!Kendall makes me laugh where ever we are. When we were waiting in line at a porta potty we spotted a lizard climbing on the wall. She was saying how cute it was and went to touch it. Instead of running away from here it ran at her. She screamed SO loud the ENTIRE line of people waiting for the porta potty were starring! I think that is the last time she pets a lizard!!


This is by far my most favorite place to hike. It is gorgeous!! We were stalked by the chipmunks after we opened up some Cheetos! When we sat down I had a chipmunk perched behind me looking like he would attack for my Cheetos. From then on when the girls were slow we told them that there was a chipmunk behind and they would start running!

BIKE RIDE!
PARK!!


First time in a swing
What happened after hours at the house! Notice the take down by Kendall!

Seriously...these girls are crazy.....I luv um!
Tattoos at Pirate's Pizza!

Bounce House! This was a hit! We played for 4 hours at it! Even Bronson loved it!


Our little Reese climbed up the 20 foot slide ....no fear!

Lots of Arcades...Every time we goto the Arcade Reese ALWAYS wins the MOST tickets....EVERY TIME!! She is our lucky charm.
Nathan...This ones for you! Bronson+Gun=Manly boy!

Fun pictures! I don't know if I could have handled the ride down though! How crazy! I'm glad it sounds like the rest of the trip was fun though.

OH liz! You will soon love trips like this! They make the best memories....and I was laughing sooo hard when I saw the canopy open and the contents spilling along the highway!(Still glad we found it all and it didn't cause an accident!)
