October....St. George....running from winter

Young women and young men's activity. They packed lunches for kids who didn't have food. 

Would you say that we have a plethora of waterbottles?!?!

On our way south on an RV trip. we stopped and visited my Grandparents grave

I miss them so much still. 

It was good to connect with them again. 

Then we started our adventure in St. George..We hiked around the red rocks

explored all the nooks and crannies

They even went through this tiny slot canyon. 
I was no too keen on this part. 


At the top, you can see all the holes below.





We saw a lot of lizards



Little arch at the top! 

Saw some beautiful views

Some very interesting flowers

It was warm and sunny! 

looking at new things, like these seeds
The view from the top was beautiful! Also, our RV looks HUGE! ha ha

Making our way back down! 

Those were the rocks we were hiking! 

We visited a little park we came across

It had some fun things in it. 

Derek got them spinning pretty fast! 

We rode scooters around the park. It had sidewalks all the way around it! 

Taking BK for a ride! 

It was really fun to get to ride the scooters! 

zipline! This was a favorite! 


On Sunday we went to the visitors center by the Temple. 

It was a very beautiful place!

Seeing the Christ statue was wonderful! 

The way the looked at it made my heart happy. 

They immediately went to feel the marks in his feet, I couldn't help but think it that is what they would do if it really was him. 

The missionary section....and a Ginormous Book of Mormon! 

This was the historical section about how the temple was built. 

Looking at all the old tools they used to use.

There were some seriously BIG bugs there! 

The Temple was beautiful! 








These were so interesting! Walnut pods! 
The flowers were amazing!! 
Here is the whole gang! 

Finding little almost pods was the best! 

The big open field was heaven for Kaliah! 

A fresh almond pod and a dried one

The water feature was pretty cool too! 

Cheese!!!!


We went to Brigham youngs house.
 It was really cool to see everything the way they would have had it. 

The colors they used to paint it were so interesting! 


Gotta take the photo Op! 

The tree lined sidewalks were so awesome! 

So pretty! 

Cotton plants they had planted there! 

Looking for more nuts 


They also had Pomagraneate trees! 



We found a really fun park, they are a little excited to play in it! 



MyKay was in HEAVEN with all the dinosaurs! 
So many things to see! 

Lots of fun toys to play on! 

climbing toys too! 

And lots of swinging toys! 

We were there for quite some time! 

We left as the sun was going down! 
It was a really fun trip and will be great memories for years to come! 
A quick stop by Tuacahn on our way out!
