Monday, April 18 - It's Spring Break this week so we decided to steal mom and escape to St. George. Simon still had to work but he did that from the house while mom and I took the kids to play. The first thing they wanted to do was go swimming at the community pool. Then, we went to the dinosaur park, played, and rode the train. When Simon got off work, we went to Gunlock Reservoir and did some exploring. It was so fun, great weather, and perfect family time!
Tuesday, April 19 - We took the kids on a hike this morning. It's one that we've never done before. It was called the Temple Quarry Trail. It was a cute little hike that ended at the rock quarry that they used to build a lot of the original buildings in the area as well as the temple and tabernacle. It was cool! After lunch, we went over to the Brigham Young house and took a tour. Mom and I enjoyed it but by the end, the kids were pretty done.
Wednesday, April 20 - We wanted to go to Bishop's while we were here but not without Simon. After his morning meeting, Simon took a little break and we went for breakfast. It's so good and oh so filling! We spent most of the rest of the day swimming. First, at the community pool across the street from the house. Later, we went to Bob & Laura's and used their pool for a little while. Their pool is beautiful! It was another great day in paradise!
Thursday, April 21 - I've told Kendra about the Crepery a few times but we've never been able to go before. I took just her to breakfast this morning at the Crepery and she loved it! I was thankful for some one-on-one time with my girl! Mom & I took the kids to the Tabernacle for a tour. It was really really interesting! We even got to go in the basement and see where they hand-dug out the space for the basement. So cool! We played at the park next to the Tabernacle for a little while but it wasn't as fun and exciting as I remembered it from when the kids were little. Haha! :) When Simon got off work, we went to the slot canyon near the Dixie sign in the red rocks. Most of us were too chicken to go the whole way but Kendra and Zack made it all the way to the top! Brave kiddos!
Friday, April 22 - The kids have been begging to go over to the church by the house and drive. We finally gave in this morning. Kendra drove first, followed by Zack on Nick's lap, and finally Ricki drove on my lap. Silly kids! They loved it! We went to the pool again for a while but then came back in time to shower and get ready for the evening. As soon as Simon got off work, we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse. We can't believe that our time is already coming to an end. We have to leave first thing tomorrow because Zack has a soccer game tomorrow afternoon. What a fun trip! I'm glad we were able to make it!
Saturday, April 23 - I'm just a little bit jealous about these pictures! Jenni and her family are in California over this Spring Break. They were able to make plans and meet up with Ahmad and his family to meet them. I can't wait to meet them so I'm only a little (like 100%) jealous of this! :) They are so sweet, they sent gifts home with the McCullough's to give to our family. I love them already!
Sunday, April 24 - These are some sad pictures. First, Nick has had these awful sores in his armpits and I think we finally figured out what they are! They are chemical burns from Old Spice deodorant! I can't believe that there would be a product on the market that would do this to an armpit! Secondly, I got this picture from my mom this morning saying that Kayla is on her way to the hospital. She hit her head on the coffee table and gashed her head open. Poor baby!! As you can see in the second picture of her, she was pretty happy after she was all stitched up and had some Oreos. Oreos make everything better! :)
