Spring Break 2010

This year we went to St George for Spring Break. It was a spur of the moment decision since my friends mom's let us use her condo to stay in and Brad couldn't come but we tried not to have too much fun without him. We went down on Friday and first went to Cottonwood Cove Park. This is a fun park with lots of new and dizzy equipment. I thought I was going to throw up watching my kids spin. The weather was so nice. We went to dinner and then to the oulets. We rented a movie and went to the condo.

Saturday we went to a park close to the condo and then headed to Pioneer Park. This was Preston's favorite place. I had no idea he loved to climb so much. He was in his element. It was fun to try to squeeze through the small crack. Do I dare say that Paul did not make it through(in his defense, he says many kids were trying to get by so he gave up :)). We ate lunch and then headed to Sand Hollow. On our way, someone motioned that we had a flat tire. Sure, enough. So we pulled over to the nearest tire store and 20 minutes we are back on the road (it was just a nail, thank goodness). Sand Hollow was too windy so we decided to go to Hidden Valley Park. It obviously got it name because it is Hidden. This is a great park because it is hidden. It has kid-friendly equipment and even water for those hot days (it was not turned on for us, bummer). The kids had a lot of fun. We played here for hours. At one point we were the only kids playing on this playground. We then went to Main Street and played with the fun water stream in downtown. We ordered pizza and ate at the park. Paul has a friend in St George who works for IHC Life Flight. Paul hooked up with him while we were there and he told us he had access to a pool OR we could tour one of his flight planes. Thinking we could go swimming anywhere we chose to see his planes. We had to go since Sterling LOVES planes and loves to see them and pretend to fly a plane and crash it. My prediction: Sterling will be a pilot when he grows up. It was so cool!!!! I love the picture of Sterling looking at the planes.

Sunday we went to church, walked around the temple grounds and headed home.
