Fun in the Sun at St. George and Zion Nat'l Park

For Spring Break this year we decided to go south and enjoy some warm weather. We took the kids to see the St. George Temple and the visitors center. We also went and saw a lot of historic church sites like Brigham Young's Winter home (picture below the temple). Growing up my dad would take us kids to all the church sites where ever we were so I think this kind of rubbed off on me. I find it very interesting to see and learn about what the early church members went through to establish this church. It makes me very appreciative of all the amenities we have in this day and age. We also went and saw the movie "Emma" wich was excellent! I highly suggest you all go and see it!





We had a beautiful condo in Green Valley. The kids had a blast swimming in the pool and us girls just watched and tried to get a tan. (Didn't put any pictures of us doing that.) Thanks to the dads for getting in the pool and keeping the kids entertained!






Fiesta Fun in St. George was a lot of fun! The guys went golfing the day before so I think the practice they got helped them with the minature golf game we had going. The kids had fun playing all the arcade games and we also got a competitive air hockey game going. What can I say, our family's REALLY competitive went it comes to games!









Hiking and enjoying the beauty of Zion Nat'l Park. We definitely live in the most beautiful place in the country!












Some of us were pooped out after 4 days in the sun and a "little" hike in Zion.

I am impressed you can take all those kids to do such fun things. I don't feel confident that I wouldn't lose Jane. She has the same swimsuit (green and white from old navy). I remember when you came to my mom's you had some of the same clothes as us. Hope to see you guys soon

Fun! I wonder if we'll ever go on a Larsen family trip with so many of us! The camp out is the closest I have been able to experience with most of us all together. Makes me want to go on a fun trip! We aren't going on vacation till Memorial Day weekend! :)
