Spring Breaky Break continued!

On Wednesday of Spring Break... I returned to Zion yet again! I just could not stay away from that place! Mark (Tim's bro) and Shannah wanted to hike Angel's Landing. So hike Angel's Landing we did!

The Miller Brothers!
How cute!

Switchbacks!

Ad was a little scurred.

Nope don't know who these ladies are...

Took its name!

Made it to the top!

It is such a cool view and such a fun hike! It was way cool and not nearly as scary as it is made out to be... well that's what I thought. But there were a few people in front and behind us that were close to tears at times.

My trustee shoes!
I love those babies!

Nike lovin'

An angel planking on Angel's Landing.
How fitting.
JOKES! ;)

Tim and I got a nice workout... ran down the whole mountain! It felt good, and I almost beat him ;) Just kidding he kicks my butt every time. Zion is a good place! I super like it. I still want to hike the hike that is taller than Angel's Landing... called Observation Point I think.

Thursdee (as the Coalvillians would say) the rest of our family joined us!!!
We spent some time at the cool park in Coral Canyon:

Haha! Bubba was so funny on the tire swing!!

Grandma wanted a turn!

Tim's first tire swing experience!

At the park we ate some lunch and also got to hang out with Marion and Evan and their cute family! It has been way too long since I've seen them! The boys could play at this park forever... but finally we headed back to the house and then to Jumpin' Jacks!

Boys and Grandpa Mark!

Jumpin Jacks is a huge warehouse of blowup toys!
We played, ran and jumped until we were
seriously a disgusting mess.
I did anyway.

Bubba makin a basket!

Mom!

Kimball's down!

Tim's shirt, matching nicely with the bounce equipment.

Sockies!

Kyson................

It was such a fun place! I'm sure we'll be back soon to sweat our guts out some more. I think we all had at least one carpet-type burn from those toys. I just loved running around screaming with all these boys, they make my world go round!

We made a stop at my favorite Costco to pick up some groceries, and headed back to the house for more food and playing!

Friday --happy birthday to LINZ!!!!!!!!-- we went to Snow Canyon State Park to play in the sand dunes, ride bikes, and explore the red rock. We even got lucky and got to bring Linz with us, that crazy 20 year old!

The boys played some catch.

Look closely and you will see dad taking is daily nap.
Naps don't stop just because you're on vacation, okay!
I have a picture of my dad sleeping from nearly every trip we have ever taken.
Gotta have it!

I love K-y-s-o-n!

After the sand dunes we ate some lunch, rode bikes and played our classic family game--flying dutchman. It was so fun, the family next to us at the picnic table area was so into it! They watched us and asked who won and how you play!

Hil and Grandma finally joined us!

Then we hiked the Pioneer Names trail:

Made it to the top!

Haha! They made me climb through this tiny hole the boys were climbing
through so I made Hil do it too!

My dad challenged me to climb this weird rock face...
challenge accepted!

It was so nice to be outside, in the nice weather, with my family i love!
Hil and Meg had to stop at a house decor store, of course, and also Christensens, and then we went back to the house for a birthday celebration!

My mom made that cute banner!

The dino birthday cake that was GIANT!

I did a sock bun in Meg's hair,
I love it!
So easy and pretty!

Time to take down the Transformers pinata and open some presents!

Tato

So funny--kys used to be scared of hitting the pinatas.
He was all for it this time!

What a fun night to celebrate the birth of these boys we all love so much! They all have spring birthdays except Bubba man, in January. I had to work that night, so they all came in to visit me at Krave! So did Marion and Evan's fam! We had a house full. My boss is so awesome, he let me take the boys and Janessa's girls on a tour of the back. They got the behind the scenes Krave experience, and they were sooo interested in it!
Saturday morn I had to work for a couple hours, but then met up with everyone at the Washington City Community Center for some swimming! The boys love this place, with all its slides and water squirting everywhere. It gets a little chilly though, so we swam until we were cold and hungry, then stopped to pick up lunch and ate at the house. Hil, Tim, Kimball and Les and I ran some errands, Target and Ross and then the decision was made that we go back to the community center that night to play! We still had our admission, so it was perfect! No swimming this time. We rock climbed:

yes, that is CALEB JUDD, a FIVE year old
who made it to the top of that wall!
He is so cool!

Bubba and Kelv shootin hoops!

HAHA! Meg made it to the top then wouldn't come
down! She was so scared to let go!
Hilarious. She was at the top scream-crying and
everyone at the bottom was laugh-coaching her down!

I spent my time on the rock wall and getting slaughtered trying to play basketball... We stayed there until they were kicking us out and we had to go home.
Home to read stories :)

Aw family. Its the best.

We had a giant family chat after the boys were asleep, about serious stuff, and had our laughs too!

The weekend came to a close with church on Sunday and cleaning up the house!

And naturally, more food!

I sure do love my family and cherish these memories!

I'm so glad they came, and can't wait for next time!
