I'm so disappointed I hardly have any pictures of our little St. George get away. It was perfect. And we SOOOO enjoyed the time together to be wild, silly, spontaneous, and careless. We took off on Thursday morning, and came home Sunday. The weather was great Thursday, and Friday. But not so much Saturday.
Thursday we got to the 'Hoopes Hotel' and unpacked the car. It was a perfect place for us to stay. Dan and Leann are soo generous and kind to let us stay there. We then got back in the car and headed to the shops. Brad's eyes got really big when he saw his favorite store of all time, The 'Eddie Bauer Outlet'. It's really funny how much he loves that store. We stocked up his summer clothing for the next ten years. And then to my favorite, the Gap outlet. And i got summer shirts. I forgot how fun it is to buy new clothes. :)
Thursday night we had the treat of meeting up with my dear friend Liz Starley and her family for dinner, and then on to Nielsen's Frozen Custard for some deliciousness we had never experienced before. I hadn't seen Liz, nor her family in a long time. We had a great time spending time with them.
Friday was the best day ever! Kenny and Heather came to meet us! We love them, and had a blast being crazy with them. They met us at Dixie Rock, and then we headed to Gunlock Reservoir.

Oh i forgot to mention, the air show was going on the weekend we were there. The 'Blue Angels' were flying around, and Brad was obsessed with them. It really was fun to watch, but Brad almost started crying cause he loved it so much.
Brad and I went to Gunlock last year and there was lots of water, and water falls for Bradley to jump off of. However, when we went there this time, there was no water! Just rocks. Kenny and Brad don't care, and find these huge logs to throw off the big cliff. I still don't understand how they found that so thrilling. But whatever floats their boat.
Last year, with lots of water....
Last year, with lots of water....
This year, with nothin....
Kenny decided to be bold and dive into the Reservoir. It is impossible to describe the temperature of this water. Freezing is an understatement.
But of course... he did it, and swore it wasn't that bad. (Liar)
That night, we enjoyed some in-n-out burger...and played some intense game of 'scatts.' (aka Scattergories). We had some good laughs at our crazy brains that night...which continued on to another intense game Saturday night. :) FYI, a Lion still IS an amphibian.
Saturday we woke up and did a windy hike in Snow Canyon. We found a rock that we wanted to hike to, and did it. We packed lunches and ate them on our rock. We then made a precious video, that i have yet to get my hands on. When i do, i will share it. Until then, it's a secret. We made it for my sweet father in law, Marty. He is gonna LOVE it! Saturday night, we just hung out some more with the Nielsens. Went to dinner, a little more shopping, dessert, and s'more scatts!
It was definitely a perfect weekend! Thank you Kenny and Heather for joining us. :)
