We took one last trip before school started for the kids. Robin and Guy have a condo in St. George that they were generous enough to let us use for the week. In the midst of the heat, we headed off to sunny St. George for one last hoorah!
Our daily ritual was to head out for a hike early enough in the day to beat the heat. We hiked out in Washington near the condo one of the days. The kids could have stood on that ledge and just thrown rocks all day long. They were completely entertained just being out in the wide open space and doing what they wanted. Each day we stopped at the Maverick by the house and picked up a slushee to cool off after our hike.
The rest of the day was spent in the pool. I sat on the chairs and read/slept/suntanned and once in a while jumped in the water to cool off. But the kids just played and played and played in the water and couldn't get enough. Their biggest accomplishment was making this 3 tiered shoulder stand.
We also hiked the Dixie Rocks one of the days and this was super fun! There are lots of places to explore and crevices to hide in. We stopped in the shade once and watched a turtle make his way from one cave to the next. That was pretty awesome.
We stopped at the temple and walked around for a bit. It is such a beautiful and white temple!
We had a really fun week just relaxing and made the most out of the few days of summer that we have left!
