We spent the first week of the New Year in Arizona and it was perhaps one of my favorite times being down there with everyone. On the way down we decided to stop in St. George and make it a fun little trip for our family. And the fact that Lucy has changed the way we travel. We used to drive through the night but she would just scream and cry all night and make it miserable on the whole family. So staying in St. George made it seem more bearable! The girls were SO excited to stay in a hotel and go swimming! We ate at the Black Bear Diner (which was delicious!) and went to my Great Great grandpa and grandma Bleak's grave sites and home. WE also visited the temple visitor's center. The girls favorite part was definitely the swimming. My favorite part was that Lucy actually slept through the night (after crying for over an hour to get to sleep).
Proof that Lucy actually took a nap in the car....what???!!! That never happens.
We had a BLAST in Arizona this time around. All adults had off work and all kids had off school and we played HARD!!! We shot bows and arrows and guns (adults did), went to the zoo, guys went hunting, went to the Mesa temple, saw Ferdinand, and flew in an antique WWII open cockpit airplane. It was such a fun trip! The kids had so much fun together and never got sick of each other even after a whole week.
Then the last day we were there was Ashur's baptism. We are proud of his decision to get baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful week!
