Spring Break

Spring Break was a few weeks ago and we headed down to St. George, Utah to get away from all the snow that still surrounded our house.  I was actually getting pretty close to taking a hairdryer to the snow drifts that were piled around the front yard.  Thankfully though- we got to escape to a place of swimming pools and flipflops for a few days.  We went down to Salt Lake and picked up my parents- who were good sports and agreed to go along with us.  


St. George is actually a place from my childhood.  My grandparents had a condo down there for as long as I can remember and my family would often escape down there.  Shaun isn't such a fan because of the heat- but he's pretty good to go along with things that the rest of us want to do.  

The first day we were there it was actually pretty windy so- Ty got to learn how to fly a kite out in the commons area.  I'm not sure that the kite was exactly flight-worthy because it never stayed in the air longer than a few seconds.  To be fair- it was a dinosaur.  Whatever happened to the plain old diamond shaped kites?  I remember our green one flying pretty well...  

Anyway, we hiked in Snow Canyon and swam at the pool... and had dinner at the Pizza Factory- a St. George tradition with anyone that goes down there.   We had a lot of fun and grudgingly went back to Montpelier when the week was over.

What?! You were in St. George??? Too bad we didn't run into you. Glad you had a nice time. We love Snow Canyon.
