Trip to St. George

So last Friday, me, Chels, and the kids, were headed down to St. George for a weekend of slightly warmer weather and some fun with Mom and Bob.

The trip started out pretty good, after spending like 40 bucks on junk food we hit the road. Let me preface this next part with the fact that Bree has had this cold that is causing her to have a lot of snot and what not going on. So we are in about Springville, we hadn't really gotten into the junk food, too much when Bree decided that she was going to get sick. Now sick means throwing up, all over her, her chair and my hoodie as I took it off to try and catch a lot of the throw up since I couldn't get the little garbage can under her face. Luckily enough, because Tiaree used the garbage can shortly there after because of the smell in the car. After a new outfit and about an hour stop in Springville trying to clean it up, we were on the road again. Bree was doing much better.

The next stop came in Fillmore where we had lunch at one of the most expensive restaurants we could find...Arby's. Talk about taking advantage of location. After eating the food, we jumped in the car and headed down to St. George, making a short pit stop for Tiaree to potty in Cedar City.

We got there and got all unpacked and put the throw up'd on clothing and other things in the washer, we got some pizza for dinner and went to bed.

Saturday I got up and saw a cool sunrise so I wanted to play with my camera and took a few pictures with different settings.

 

It was a nice sunrise. Since I'm not the best with my camera yet, the pictures aren't the best.

After breakfast on Saturday we went to Zions National Park and had a picnic in the car since the wind was blowing and it was cold. We then went and walked the narrows, well until you get to the part where the hike continues in the river itself. It was fun. The kids threw rocks in the river and I played with my camera. A couple of my favorite picts...

  

While we were on the Narrows hike, it snowed on us. We went and did the short weeping rock hike and then headed home. We had this great dinner, pork roast and then just hung out.

Sunday we went and saw Curious George and went to Golden Corral for dinner. It was a pretty lazy day.

Monday we just hung out and let the kids play at the park. Chels caught a little tornado on video, it was cool. We decided to stay Monday and leave on Tuesday. Drove home in a little over 4 hours and life continued in the cold north.
