Spring Break 2024

Because Easter was on Sunday, March 31, our Spring Break ended up being that first week of April. Greg was still deep in Busy Season, but I somehow put it in his head that he could come on a trip with us anyway. All in all, we had fun and enjoyed the sunshine.

This is another cute thing Quincey started to do. She would say "Oh, Daddy ..." in her cute little voice. I'm pretty sure Greg was napping.

We stayed in Cedar at my parent's but spent a majority of our time in sunny St. George. Here is Quincey multi-tasking at her finest, soaking up some sun in Cedar before heading even further south. 

Claire: "Can you close the door?" She is not known as being patient on road trips .... she gets that from her dad.

Greg had a bike ride planned as soon as we got to St. George, so we dropped him off and headed to the infamous Tonaquint Park, where they miraculously had the water running. It really wasn't terribly warm yet. But, anything was warmer than Northern Utah.

All 3 are at such a fun age!

Meanwhile ...

It's good to know there is still some undeveloped land in St. George. Developers are snatching everything up left and right ...

Claire living the dream. In a swimsuit, in the sun, with a snack. 

After playing at the park for a while, and finally picking Greg back up, we found somewhere yummy to eat Dinner.

Because the girls hadn't swam enough, and because we love the place, after dinner we went to the Snow Canyon Aquatic Center, lovingly known as "the bra" to the locals :). Somehow I had forgotten to pack mine and Greg's swimsuits, so Greg took one for the team and following Quincey around in his bike shorts while I lounged from the sidelines.

This picture kills me 🤣.

There's something about a Swimming Pool locker room and my girls feeling the need to climb inside a locker. I guess I'll let them until the lockers no longer fit :).

It was a long day, but we had so much fun! I'm glad Greg was able to get out on his bike and that the girls were able to soak up some sun and swim to their hearts content. 

The next morning I about died when I came downstairs to find this scene ... Greg up working early to the background music of my Dad's snores.

The goal for today was to go to Zion. We're really good at going to Bryce, so we were going to try to hit Zion. It was fun, but Zion is so overcrowded. It's beautiful, but you definitely need to go on a national holiday or wait for the world to shut down again. It was a madhouse, so much so that we didn't even hike. We just hiked along the rive and called that good.

We found a giant rock to climb and some solitude along the river. All in all, we had a fun day.

We stopped for Ice Cream on the way out. A perfect way to end the day.

Oh to be in her head ... she is so fun!

We had a fun time in Southern Utah. It's always so hard to leave, and Claire cries for a good 30 minutes because she misses Grandma, but that is what makes visiting so much fun - the memories.
