spring break st george style

this year for jack's spring break we were lucky enough to be able to go up to st george and actually have one on one time with my parents. that is very rare in a family with 6 children. jack had a blast and loved getting to cuddle with grandma and go on outdoor adventures with grandpa. here are a few of our highlights...


kayaking at gunlock


jack helped slow down dad with his paddle in the water so i could win our kayaking race. gotta love that boy!!


it is so tiring having dad paddle you around the lake


zion



jack had a blast throwing the rocks into the river, especially the big ones that made an awesome sound when they hit the water. he could have stayed there all day doing this. i love that boys are so easily entertained with rocks, water and dirt.







at the end of the narrows trail people had been making rock towers so of course we had to give it a try too.





i love my boys




our very first family picture on "the rocks" in zion (a long standing everett tradition)




park day








red rocks




sammy's very first licks of a popsicle






jack had a blast climbing with dad and has gotten so brave over the years




in the slot canyon. he didn't go in very far because john didn't think he would fit, i think he was too afraid.








it was so nice to get jack away from computers, video games and tv shows and actually go outside and enjoy nature and time together as a family. there is nothing like st george and being with grandma and grandpa.
