We decided last minute to go to Hurricane for St. George since our guests were checking out on Saturday. So we headed down Saturday and then stayed till Wednesday, making the kids miss their first two days of school this year (Tuesday and Wednesday). They HATE missing school, ha ha, but we made them do it. Ava isn't loving first grade though so she was happy to miss.
We drove down over lunch, had lunch in Beaver at Wendy's, and got there around 2 p.m. We got straight in the pool. The cleaner wasn't finished yet so we changed in the clubhouse bathroom. The weather was great and we had a blast.
Playing slap jack on Jackson's back, ha ha.
We wanted to try something new this trip and had plans to go to glitter mountain but we ended up not doing it because the map showed it was over an hour drive and we just weren't up for that. We went to Grandpa's Pond instead.
There were no turtles this time which was so weird!
We considered trying Zions for the first time but ended up just doing the Red Reef Trail instead. Don't know when we will ever make it to Zion. Someday.
The weather was great for this hike and the kids had tons of fun climbing up on rocks along the way.
The end is so beautiful. One day I know we're gonna make it when there is water flowing.
We found this ginormous caterpillar on the way back.
Lots and lots of pool time, as always. The pool was pretty cold the next few days. We spent most of our time in the hot tub but it was still great.
Went to a park in Hurricane and ate dinner there. Pizza for the kids and burritos from Adelita's for me and Brandon.
Tuesday we ventured into St. George (after all the fall breakers were gone) and went to the temple open house. They had been redoing the St. George temple for the last couple of years.
Got our favorite Wetzel's Pretzels. They weren't as good as last time, but still delicious.
Went back to Super Chix as well and had the nicest lady take our order. It was a really memorable experience. She made sure we didn't swipe our starving student cards and then gave us free drinks. She was so sweet.
Kallie wanted to go to Thunder Junction so we did. We went to the nature reserve first and didn't see any turtles there either. Like do they hibernate or something?
Anyway, we had a great time at the park and had the entire train to ourselves. Ava and Brandon sat at the very back so they're not in any of these pictures but they were there.
Back to the pool, always!
It was a great trip and the kids weren't too mad about missing school.
