Family Vacation

For UEA vacation we got invited to go down to St George with our friends. It was so much fun. Because of Cody's work and his brothers wedding we didn't get a chance to go on any family trips this summer.....So this was much needed. We headed down as a group on Thursday. Two cars filled with 3 adults and 9 children. Were we crazy or what? Some of our highlights were going to Snow canyon and playing in the sand hills, Hiking in Zions, and of course just hanging out and not thinking about day to day tasks. The not so good highlight of the weekend was Cody getting a ticket and being informed that his license had just expired. :( Hey, it could have been worse right?! We then came back on Sunday with exhausted children that slept most of the way home!! Yeah! :)
In Snow Canyon we went to a little hike ( I wouldn't call it a hike though) that had pioneer names written on the rocks. Where they really written a long time ago or yesterday? That is the question.
Cody our only dad here. Man, he was so nervous that the kids where going to fall and get hurt!
A picture of all nine kids. Cooper is on the bottom because Cody thought it would be smart to not have him up so high.
Our first family picture and Cody was already complaining.
Oh man, when I got home I found a pile of sand in all my kids pants. Our crazy Brody buried in sand and loving every minute.
What better way to get kids cleaned up after playing in the sand.


Each of them are so different. Just looking at this picture makes me laugh! :)
At Zions we went on a little hike called Weeping Rock. This was the best by far, you had to walk under water and the kids loved it. What kid doesn't like to get wet?
What a fun weekend!! Thanks Ali and Todd for inviting us!!
