St. George Family Reunion

Remember our family vacation to Bear Lake?
We swore we would never go on another vacation again.

However this summer my parents bought all of us kids and our families
tickets to see Tuacahn's presentation of Disney's The Little Mermaid.
It was amazing! I was a little worried about it starting so late but
the three oldest kids did great! It is Lydia's favorite movie,
and with the exception of Austin who fell asleep the last 10 minutes
couldn't keep their awe struck eyes of the stage.
And Taylie had fun with her cousin Pyper at the condos with a babysitter.

The next days adventures started with a trip to the temple,
swimming, and a little off roading.
 Us in our Jeep and my brother Ben in my dad's Toyota Corolla.
I made the comment that I was so glad we were in the car because of the rattlesnakes.
Lydia asked what they were to which we told her they were very Poisonous snakes
and that the poison had killed people so not to play with them.
5 minutes later.
Ben and Alex fixing the car, Lydia terrified wouldn't leave their side.
The boys enjoyed playing on the rocks, see how close we were to
civilization? So close yet so far.

The next day before heading home we visited the county fair.

The kids viewing and feeding the animals.
Taylie called every animal Sadie after our dog.

They even got to ride a horse for the first time.


And to sit on some other animals too.

But the Best part of the day was this:

My Dad, All American Grandpa, and Cowboy.
It was a wonderful vacation spent with my wonderful family.
Can't wait till next year. Still will be a few years probably
before Alex and I try one on our own again.
But with family helping family, everything is possible.

That sounds fun. We love that part of Utah - so gorgeous. Paul and I were hoping to see rattlesnakes when we were hiking out there (we wouldn't have messed with them, just observed from afar) but we didn't see a one!
