Yes on the kids last day of preschool instead of having a Graduation program. They did a Fire Station tour. Ty was so excited for the fact that he keeps saying that when he grows up he wants to be a fireman. Kai'imi was okay with going but wasn't excited as Ty was. I decided to tag along and bring Ili as well. We had a great time and learned more about what Fireman's do and how everything works with their trucks. It was a great last day of Preschool.
On Sunday before heading back home we decided to go to Church in Zion's National Park, then enjoyed a tour by bus around Zions and did a 2 mile hike with the kids to the Scared Grove. It was very enjoyable. We loved the peace and quietness that we felt while we spent some quality time as a family. The kids never once complained during the hike. It was a great Sunday before coming home.
I am laughing at Bret who can't take the Smell of this......
Yes, that's BARF everywhere and I mean everywhere. So short version we stopped at Bret's friends house and he gave us some cookies, then we stopped in Colorado City and brought some rice crispy treats at a bake sale and we didn't plan on really spending the whole day driving up to the Grand Canyon. So we had only packed water, granola bars, and a few snacks. So while driving up there Ty ate and ate and Bret and I didn't realize how much he snacked on the junk until the way back down the Grand Canyon about 12 miles aways from the nearest anything. Ty tells us he is not feeling well and I tell him that we have just had a long day and he is just tired and he kept on telling me that he wasn't feeling good and I kept just telling him to close his eyes and take a nap. Well I sure believed him when both Bret and I was sprayed with Barf. Well since we were 12 miles away from anything and we weren't prepared for this. We had to endure the smell and poor Ty was only in his underwear. I did give him my under shirt and we drove with the windows down until we reached a gas station and cleaned things up. 
I just love this picture of the three monkeys!!!
This year on our trip down in St George we went up the Grand Canyon. It was just a tiny glimpse of it. We drove forever, enjoyed shops, hiking, the fresh air, and the beauty. It was amazing.
This year on our annual trip to St George for my UPHA convention we took the kids to the Dinosaur museum where we had fun looking at all the different types of dinosaurs there were, finding bones, and finding a treasure in Clay. The kids also enjoyed coloring pictures and making things at the museum.
Every year we go down to St. George for my work Annuals UPHA's convention. This year on the way down to St George we stopped at Bryce Canyon and then before heading back up to Salt Lake we went to Zion's National park and the Grand Canyon. Wow God created beauty everywhere and its been great to appreciate it and teach my children about it. We had a blast with picnics and hiking and enjoying Gods Creations.
