Weekend in St. George

 We spent the weekend in St. George and stayed at Aunt Nancy's home.  It was such a fun and relaxing trip.  We went to Snow Canyon which had a short slot canyon and sand dunes, which were Brad's favorite part of the trip.

 We also went to Zion National Park and we hiked to Upper Emerald Springs, a three mile round trip hike.  The boys did all but about a 1/2 mile by themselves.  They were so proud of themselves and did such a good job.  This is the boys "cleaning the trail" by throwing leaves over the side.

We complimented another hiker on what a cool composition this was and he volunteered to take our picture- lucky us!
There was a whole herd of mountain goats off the side of the road.  The ram was awesome.

Star Wars

I got some star wars action figures for the boys at a garage sale.  Dan has made it a top priority to make sure the boys know and love star wars.  But beware, as soon as Dan starts talking Star Wars his inner nerd comes out. :)  I'm surprised how many of the characters they can name.  Seth is especially interested.  He jumps up and down during the fight scenes and laughs at the Ewoks.
