St Geezy 2017

A little trip down to St George with G & Chris is ALWAYS a welcomed summer activity!

We went down for a long 24th of July weekend and had a blast (like always). The lake day was awesome! It was super hot but the water is SO nice and cool (85 degrees) and the kids have a blast swimming, tubing, jumping on and off the boat and just being in the sunshine. We had sandwiches on the boat and spent most of the day on the lake.

Grandma Chris and Enzo- this was excellent progress :)

Me and Mc on the tube.

Mr Williamson swears he reapplied sunscreen but, from the looks of it, his leg hair didn't do much for sun protection.

We rented a movie, played games, saw G & Chris's new house in Hurricane, went to dinner, built Legos and of course hit the Ace Hardware store.

On the way out of town we decided to stop at the Wildlife Museum (or as some call it the "Dead Zoo" because it is so full of taxidermied animals). We thoroughly enjoyed it! The kids loved looking at all the animals and the stories behind the animals were pretty cool too. There were deer with fangs, the worlds largest and best Big Horned Sheep specimens and lots of animals I've never even heard of or seen in my life. A fun little stop and always nice to find new things to do when we are down there.

Deer with fangs.

This is the fastest animal in THE world (faster than Cheetahs and the likes). It's nose is adapted to help it process cold air (heat it) so it can breathe quickly.

On the way home, we stopped at a cookie dough shop in Orem that sells raw cookie dough by the scoop (pasteurized and safe of course). It was delish but 3 scoops was about all I could handle.

With not too many vacations planned for this year (as we just bought a house), it was nice to pad a few days of summer with a mini getaway. I love the sun, love spending time with my kids and on that note, we can really start pushing to go back to school!
