Happy Hoppy Easter

This Easter we had all the kids together in St. George! It was pretty great. We all arrived at different times, but we tried to do as much together as we could fit in. And, I think we all got to do a little of something for ourselves.


One thing we got to do together was have dinners. The girls all pitched in and took turns with a meal. And the guys also got their turn to watch the BB games to check our standings in the tournament.

Here's Paul biking! Where else would he be when in St. George. (I must confess! This picture is from an earlier visit. Paul is never around me when I pull out the ol' camera! Hmmmm!)

Some of us went hiking, others of us watched the hikers.

Here's grandpa having a little "chat" with the newest member of the fam, Emily.

Ahhh! Kev taking advantage of down time after all the riding!!

Kaja's making us laugh, while waiting for everyone to join the Egg Hunt.
And we ate! and ate, and ate, and ate!!

Jaxon's always up to playing to the camera. Where's his dad?

We even got some sightseeing in. Tyler and Christine were knocking on the Temple door. We went into the visitor's center and talked with Elder Eubank, the old weather man. He took us to see the Christus and listen to a few words of Christ. It was touching and made our trip even better.

Kylee and Jayce wanted ride after ride after ride. They would ask everyone to take them.

We enjoyed the sun! It was so nice to be warm, although it turned some of us a little red.


Thanks kids for coming and making it such a great weekend. I think we need to make it a tradition. What do ya say?
