Spring Break - St. George


For spring break we headed down to St. George. It was beautiful weather and such a needed break from the regular life of house cleaning!!!

Check out Shan's sweet hat to cover all her battle wounds.

Caleb and Blake LOVING the park. 

Conner and Jake figuring out how to hold up their fingers for how many times they walked up 66 stairs!

That's 34 for Jake and 44 for Conner....More pictures to come.
 

12 for Kierra and 10 for Shan...I did it 11 times and my legs were shaking!!! We had already ran 3 miles that morning, and showered so I wasn't about to keep going like those crazy kids!!!

These are the stairs....all 66 stairs for them. Yup. We had been playing at the park and the kids were hungry for lunch. So Shan said, "If you walk up those stairs as many times as old you are then I'll buy you a hamburger!" So off Isaac and Jake went....they ran up and ran down 5 times up and 5 times down. So they earned their hamburger...then all the other kids joined in. But it didn't stop after that. They did it again, and again to earn fries, a drink then an ice cream cone! Jake was the SUPER overacheiver and did it 34 times...when he only needed to do it 20 times. He was an ANIMAL. 

Ben LOVES parks. 

And slides.

Pointing out the dreaded stairs!
 

The FOUR tough kids that completed the FOUR different challenges. 

Yes, they were EXHAUSTED!

After Caleb did his three flights of stairs I found him resting on here singing a song...so cute.

Day two, new park.
 

Sad baby face...I think he had allergies really bad down here because he was always swollen and puffy eyes...
 

The park was TOO busy so we headed to a pioneers house in St. George. His first name was Jacob...but  I can't remember the rest. Thanks Clint and Judi for housing all these WILD monkies!!!
