Labor Day Weekend…

  

 

 

We started out in Saint George.  We stayed at a hotel with a pool and the boys swam and swam.  We went four-wheeling.  Kenny even got his own small one and he did great.  Kale banged his head really hard while riding with Mommy (remind anyone of anyone else??).  He hit his head hard and cut open his forehead.  As with all head wounds, it bled and bled.  I think the blood scared Kale more then the pain of the head wound.  We rode for several hours, up sand hills, around mountains, all over and had a great time.

The boys rolled the four-wheeler over Kenny and that scared him, so for a while, he wouldn’t ride with Dad (doesn’t sound like he got that from his mama, with several teeth knocked out, still chose to ride with Dad as often as possible).

On Sunday we went to The St. George Temple.  We visited the Visitor’s Center and the kids enjoyed watching the movies and small short stories about Jesus and the apostles.

This was Kale’s first try at using his “auto” button on his camera and he wasn’t even paying attention.  As usual, he was looking at something more interesting.

Sunday Afternoon we went into Overton and found a room at the Echo Lake Lodge. 

On Monday, we rented a boat and cruised the lake for a few hours.  The boys had a blast playing in the water, cliff diving, and playing in the sand.

CLIFF JUMPING WAS EVERYONE’S FAVORITE ACTIVITY… (except Kale, who stayed on the shoreline)

Daddy  got hurt on one of the Mussel Shells while climbing on the rock.  He got a great big gash and here we were on the boat without a first aid kit.  We made due with what we had and got the bleeding to stop and then went on having fun.  I think I saw more blood this weekend then I have seen in months.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check out how deep the “muddy” sand is.  This shows how low the water is.  The water is just under the surface of the sand and so when you step in it, you sink to your knees.  It looked gross and smelled pretty bad too, but as you can see from the pictures, my boys didn’t really care!!

All in All – we had a blast and really enjoyed ourselves.  We need to do this more often.
