Every year when we visit grandparents in St. George, we like to go on some time of exploration as a family. We were blessed with super awesome weather and so we took a trip to see the Dinosaur tracks at Johnson Farm. The drive out there was also eventful. It is in the middle of nowhere, and to get there you have to drive on a bunch of unpaved roads and then through a patch of super fine sand. We were driving the CRV and we still got stuck! We hit a particularly bad hole, and everyone had to push us out! After that, we decided that we could all fit into Grandpas 4-wheel drive truck!
Grandma gave all of the kids a container of water which they poured over the tracks to see them better, but Chris decided that the plants needed water more and proceeded to give as many as he could a "drink." Tory dumped most of it on her shirt. :)
We also made a quick stop to visit an old fort and then the next day we took a long hike up to the old quarry where they got the rocks for the base of the St. George Temple. The kids kind of lost interest in that about half way there, so the hike back out was a little long for them. Tory got a ride on Jared's shoulders, and Chris cried most of the way back! He settled down a little bit when I gave him my sunglasses to wear. Ayden had a blast and raced the whole way there and back with his cousins.
