Off and Playing

We're off for a spring break adventure in sunny St. George!

Getting settled in our home away from home.

This year we left on Spring Break with no agenda, which is very unusual for us.  We thought that we would just go with the flow and really take a break from the busy schedule that we normally keep.  But as you can see, we still fit in a thing or two, or three, or four, or..... OK, so we don't really know how to 'vacation', but we did have a lot of fun!

Taking advantage of the amenities.  

Enjoying the sun and the change of pace!

(we even invited our cousins to join in our fun)

Bring on the super splash competition!

Kicking it up with a full twist!

Not bad, but can you flip it?!?

Lexi's turn.

Whoa!!! WAIT! LEXI NOOOOO!!!

If we broke down the range of motion and the edge of the pool deck we can see that this could have turned into splash competition tragedy.  Thankfully there was no injury here, but flipping was off limits for Lexi Lu.

On to the next best thing,

CANNONBALL!

It's hard work but somebody's got to keep the pool surface!

There was

 pool swimming,

 pool splashing

 and

 pool side snoozing!

1,2...3

These guys could LIVE at the pool.

Put-Put and more at Fiesta Fun (ole!)!  

Mini golf with these four is an adventure, but they love it when their ball goes in the hole!

There is many variations on how to hold your club, hit the ball (or occasional sibling), and victory dance/stance!

FORE!!

(for those "accidental" club-to-the-head moments!)

Bumper Boats!

(the lesser contact sport)

Rev up your engines

 cuz these kiddos are on the go!

Visiting Grandma and Grandpa Dewey's grave site.

St. George Children's Museum

Where making discoveries is fun

and making memories is priceless!

Life's a Stage 

and these kids are going to rock it!

The Market is now open! 

Frozen in the Moment.

(if only we could freeze time)

Traveling through a little piece of history in the surrounding area.

Silver Reef Mine/ Ghost town and the Wells Fargo Post.  

Where are we going?

VEGAS!

Hitting the Strip in Style.

There are not many groups on the strip like this one.

(look at that daddy stud!)

Our kids version of running into 'celebrities' on the strip.

Can you say MMMM!

At the M&M Factory inside Hershey World.

LOL

This picture was taken because the kids were all sitting on a little wall while we were getting tickets for the aquarium.  Now that we look at the actual picture, I cant help but laugh!  Its a bit of an oxymoron to be pictured with a fertility god but we really have been blessed by the fertility god.

Aquarium

Railings were put up for my kids, but my kids are not deterred by railings.

The Town Square Carousel

St. George Tabernacle

Discovering Cove Fort

How to catch mice in the kitchen.

Dino Size Fun at the Discovery Center.

Hands on Dino Fun.

And there you have it, our low key, no agenda, hope we don't get bored, relaxing vacation!

And we wouldn't have done it any differently!
