Easter Weekend

We had a wonderful Easter weekend. Steve (my brother) Miki and the girls came down. We got up early on Sat and went to our towns annual Easter Egg hunt. I would like to say I took pictures, but sorry no. For one thing it was c..o..l...d and two it was over in less then a minute. Luke LOVES the excitement of a gazillion kids running for eggs. Kolby not so much, as soon as the running started it proved to much for him he wanted no part of it. Not even the promise of candy filled eggs was enough to propel him forward. It was a good hunt for "tiny" hailey she won the grand prize for girls a full size pink locker.

Because it was cold, wet and windy in Cedar we decided to drive to St. George and go for a hike. Its the perfect time of year for one of our favorite "The red rocks". We failed to take into consideration that it was Easter weekend and others might have the same idea.... It was so crowded they made us park in an overflow parking lot. A lot of people might change plans at this point. Not us, what a two mile hike to get to the hike...bring it :)
This is me and "Tiny" (the boys nickname, they have two cousins named hailey this one is younger) Hailey hiking to the hike.

Smiling happy boys faces
They were old enough this year to walk in the water more then they have been able to in the past. They were pretty proud to show off their skills.


A big thanks to Miki for taking most of these pictures, I liked this one showing all of us.


Normally when we get to this point of the hike we climb up and around the rock using a rope. With the crowds of people it was just not going to happen this time. That's not to say fun can't be had. Keanna found some by jumping in the water. She's on the right hand side of the photo. BRAVE girl!


My little family on the way back. We decided to bring the back carrier just in case....
As it turned out it was a good thing we did. Both Luke and Kolby did really well specially considering it was twice as long as normal. But Kolby just could not make it the last little bit. Not a bad deal for him he got carried and got to take a nap.





I'll post next about our after hike picnic at the lake.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend!
