St. George 2008!

So I have a very fun start to the weekend. It truly started Thursday when I got home from work to my house being a pig pen and no laundry done, after Tim stayed home all day by himself. So yes of course I was PISSED OFF. So then Friday I was over it, because I did EVERYTHING by myself. (yes maybe I am still a little bit bitter) then Friday we had to wait for Kylee to get out of school. So we are finally on the road and get to about American Fork and the freeway is a parking lot for 2 miles and it took us an hour to go 2 miles. At that point I thought that this trip was not meant to be. But we kept going. Then about 2 hours into the drive we hit a very big snow/slush storm and again I am thinking we are not meant to leave the house this weekend. We kept going and so did the storm. So we finally make it to St. George and of course Tim and Jason want to leave right away to go fishing (in the rain) and the girls want to go swimming.

Here is Hailey swimming under water. She is an amazing swimmer. She has never taking swimming lessons and she swims better than me.
Here is the CRAZY girls. Hailey, McKenzie and Kylee

And here is Kylee underwater looking up at me.

I did it. I am learning to swim better.

Kylee being Kylee!! I love you!I swear these kids think that they are fish!

And a slumber party. They are addicted to their DS. "lets connect"

Saturday

We went to Zions National Park. This place is amazing. We drove up the canyon then parked the car and rode a bus to the visitor center then up to the trail to see Emerald Ponds. There are 3 ponds, and we were just going to go to the first one, but it was so amazingly beautiful we had to keep going.

This was the beginning of the trail and we found this HUGE tree with a big hole in it. Do you think an owl lived there?

Cute Girls!

Look at my sexy husband listening to his Ipod and not knowing that I am snapping pictures of him. He looks to pissy in this picture but I think that this might be a favorite!

Fashion Stars. Or so they think. This is on the trail to the first pond.

We found a new friend.And the stinky boys scared him off. :(

Tim and Jason doing what they do best. TALK TALK and more TALK about deer, elk, fishing and really anything they can catch or kill.

This water fall was at the 2nd pond.

Another picture of the water fall. I can not believe how pretty this place was and how clean the air was.
This was a very slippery part of the trail. Be careful.


This is Jason, McKenzie and Hailey on the top of this really cool (big) rock. I couldn't get Kylee up there to take a cool picture like this "its to scary" I need to make so she isn't such a scary cat.
Kylee, me, Jennilee, Hailey and McKenzie

Cute Ladies!

And this was our final destination this was so cool. The water was probably 500 feet above us and there was a small pond below.


We had to leave pretty fast out of this place, because of course just our luck once we got there it started to rain hard.

Jennilee, McKenzie, Hailey and Jason. Oh how cute.

Our cute little Fam. I swear that my husband thinks that if he smile he will burst into flames.

On the way back to our car we stopped in a little city in Zions and there was this farm that had all kinds of animals to feed and pet and look at. Which Tim and Jason loved.

This elk had the most craziest horns I have ever seen. At first I didn't know what the crap this animal was. I mean the body looked like an elk or a deer, but the horns were crazy.

Jason admiring the elk

Tim drooling and drooling. I have never seen Tim so much in love before.

Kylee by a one year old elk.

And the girls by this big Bull.


Sunday

We went to Fiesta Fun. We went in the batting cages. and OUCH, those balls are really really hard.

Kylee's turn

Tim's turn

Jennilee

me who sucks at this.

Jason's turn

Kenzie's turn

Hailey is to small. Sorry hopefully next year.

Then we went on the go carts. Watch out and tie back your hair.

Here is Tim and Kylee waiting in line.

Kenzie and Jason. Make sure your buckled in there good!

Here is Hailey and Jennilee, sorry your face isn't the picture.

and my favorite team. Tim and Kylee. and of course seeing as I am the picture freak there is not a picture of me in mine. but I do have to say that I wasn't a fan of the go carts. I think I was more scared than Kylee.

Monday

The sun decide to come out so we called to get a late check out and hung out at the pool for a few hours before heading home. Of course the day we leave is the one perfect day. oh well that just means we have to go back soon.

Well after the ruff start it turned out to be a great weekend.
