"Wet and Wild"

So last weekend we decided to head down to St. George for some warm weather.  The weekend before, my parents went and got temperatures of 65 degrees or so.  We headed down and what did we get?  Rain!!  Lots and Lots of rain.  It was kinda a bummer too because we brought down our friends the Slessers with us.  Fortunately we are very creative and we got a bunch of fun things in during the brief moments of sunshine.  We started out by having dinner at our favorite spot in St. George, Mongolian BBQ.  YUMMMMMMY.  It was a hit with every one of us. 

Saturday morning we woke up to rain.  Shawn took the kids over to the racquetball court to play.  We also got a game of Laser tag in.  After that we headed over to our favorite park and had a picnic lunch.  The kids had a blast.  We talked about going to a movie but it stopped raining long enough for us to head up to "The Crack" instead.  The kids loved it.  None of the adults went up it but the kids actually went up twice and then came back down it once.  Terry also found another spot to climb through and all 5 kiddos followed him up it and then back down it. 

In between rainstorms the kids fit in a game of tennis while Julie and I watched.  That is my kind of tennis.  The kind where I don't have to go chasing the ball around :)  The kids also decided to climb up in the tree at my mom's house (don't tell my mom) and of course I had to get a picture of them before I made them get out of it.

While driving home we hit a few blizzards, especially a big one in Cedar City.  The weekend was definitely worth it though.  I feel rested and refreshed.  Thanks to my Mom and Dad for the free place to stay in a fun location.  We LOVE it!!!!
