The week before I found out that my girls had no school on a Monday and Tuesday. I was just dying to go somewhere and make some memories hiking! So I called my mom and asked if she wanted to be spontaneous and go to St. George with me and the kiddos in a few days. She said yes! (I was very proud of her being spontaneous) and we took the kiddos for just 2 nights. The first afternoon/evening (Sunday) we went swimming, played games and watched a movie before bed.
The next day (Monday) we met up with Kristen and her kids and a friend of Kristen, Whitney and her kids. We hiked around Red Cliffs National Recreation Area. It was SO fun. Lucy may have slipped and fallen in the water and got super wet and was freezing the rest of the way back :). We also got ice cream at our new favorite place called Zeppe's. It was amazingly good. Then we did some more swimming, got pizza for the kids and my mom and I went out to eat while the kids watched a movie.
Benson was exhausted from keeping me awake ALL. NIGHT. LONG. The joys of travel with a toddler.
On Tuesday we asked for a late checkout and so we went to Pioneer Park to explore. My mom remembered going with her sisters when she was really young and called it "The Flinstone Caves". My kids had been before but they were younger and didn't remember. So this time they had a BLAST exploring, climbing and making little homes or beds all over the red rocks.
Emma's good friend Autumn came with us and were so glad she did. All of my kids love to play and hang out with her.
Then we ended with playing at the main town square where they had a fun carousel and water to splash and play in. Then we packed up and went back home. It was just what the doctor ordered!!!
Jane's husband she fell in love with and talked to 😂
