Spring Break 2013

We started out spring break Friday with the neighborhood egg hunt. After that, we were off to St. George.

The Easter bunny came Saturday morning and the girls loved the bubble machine she (I say she, Macy says he) gave them to share.

We have been to St. George many times and this was one of my favorite trips there. We did so many things we have never done before. The wildlife museum was great for the girls and us. They give the kids little binoculars to use, which I thought was adorable. 

We drove to Gunlock state park hoping to see the falls. Unfortunately, there was no water right now. I was really disappointed and want everyone who goes down in the next few months to try to see them. Since they weren't falling we decided to follow a sign to another reservoir. This ended up to be a long drive up a dirt road with no lake in sight and we finally turned around to save the new van, but on the way home from this we were able to see the old volcano in Veyo. Macy is very into volcanos so it ended on a good note.

Some other new things we tried included the St. George art museum, which was okay. The kids liked painting at the end and the exhibits rotate and it was cheap so we may try it again. The other great new experience was the Water Walk. At the top of Main Street is a little walk to a fishing hole and a hike. We had a great time here!

We are so lucky Ella is so happy and easy going. She spent a lot of time in the stroller and the car seat.

And of course, there was swimming, many trips to parks, tennis, walks, and lizard catching. We were there from Friday to the following Saturday and were still not ready to come home. 

We are so grateful to Grammy and Grampy for sharing their house with us. It is a magical place!
