St. George

We have been planning a St. George trip for awhile now. When we were single (my use of the word "single" just means after we were married, but before we had kids) we used to go to St. George all the time with Kenny and Cherice (when they too, were single). We would go on hikes, swim, and go see a play at Tuacahn. So, since we've moved back to Utah, we having been planning on going. First things first, find babysitters for the kids so we could go see a play. So, we brought our two nieces with us, Chelsie and Courtnie. We invited Donnarae down for the fun too. On our way down, I wanted to stop at a place we had gone to over Spring Break when I went to Snow College. It is a place called Red Cliffs. It is a campground, and day use park. There is an awesome hike through red cliffs. From what I remembered from 11 years ago, was that there is a stream/river that flows through the canyon. We used the rocks as a slide, and we also jumped off a cliff into a deep pool of water. Well, dumb me, didn't realize that in June there is no water. So, we went on a really hot hike, realized there was no water, and turned around. I was really sad, cause the kids would have LOVED the water. Here is a picture of all who went. When we realized there was no water, and decided we should turn around I made everyone get together for a group shot. Thank heavens for timers! We soon headed off to our hotel. YEP! A HOTEL! YEA! As soon as we got there, we got into our swimsuits, and headed for the pool. They had an indoor and an outdoor pool. Which was nice, cause then we didn't need to worry about sunscreen. That night the adults went to Tuacahn and watched Cinderella. It was fun. My dad works in St. George, and stayed at the same hotel as we did, so early the next morning, Kenny, Troy, and my dad went golfing. When they got back, we went swimming again, then went to Nielsen's Custard Shop, and then headed home. It was a quick trip (cheaper that way) and was definately fun to get away for a day! To all of you who are still "SINGLE" live it up! Go and do LOTS and LOTS of things! You'll NEVER be "single" again! We had a good time, and the kids did too! Next time, we'll go back in the spring, so we can play in the stream at Red Cliffs!
