First time blogging!

Well, this seems as good a place as any to try keeping a journal on the kids and life in general. Yesterday we said goodbye to the N grandparents. They spent last week in St. George and we drove down there on Thursday morning to spend some time with them. The drive down there was a little scary because we left during a small snowstorm that lasted the whole first half of our drive. We saw at least a half dozen cars that had slid off the freeway. Probably the scariest moment was when the car right in front of us started swerving back and forth and then slid off the side of the road. We also saw another car that was upside-down in the middle of the median.

Once we got to St. George we had nice weather (although it was a little windy on Thursday). We took the kids swimming at the condo and they all enjoyed it. Then we went to a dinosaur museum that has a lot of dinosaur tracks that were found when someone was digging the foundation for a house. It was pretty interesting, but the kids lost attention pretty quickly. Plus it didn't help that just about everything was within reach of their little hands with big "Do Not Touch" signs everywhere. M&M probably enjoyed it the most.

Friday we checked out of the condo and drove to Bryce Canyon on the way home. We spent several hours there and I think the kids all had a great time. It is a beautiful place to visit and the kids and I probably hiked at least a mile during the whole visit. I was really impressed with them all. There was no complaining from any of them which is a miracle (especially from Luke). Luke is usually the first to complain about being tired or bored (he wanted to quit trick-or-treating last October after only going a couple of blocks around the neighborhood).

DH says that he wants to look into buying a digital camera here soon so hopefully I will be able to post pictures more regularly after that. As it is right now you will all have to wait for our pictures of St. George and Bryce Canyon until I can get to the store to get the film developed.
