Boys will be BOYS...

It's been four months since our last injury so I guess you can say the Averett's are due for another trip to the ER. Warren thought it would be fun to see his little brother Bennett fly through the air and land safely on the couch. Bennett landed on the couch but he happened to find a not so SOFT spot on the couch. Bennett split open his forehead and definitely needed some medical attention. As usual, all our accidents happen after 8:00 P.M., so we ventured over to UVRMC to repair Bennett's forehead. Bennett lucked out and ended up having his forehead glued back together rather than having stitches put in.

Bennett's battle wound.

The doctor cleaned out his wound and then placed some topical anesthetic on it to numb the area. The nurse placed a headband on his head to hold the anesthetic in place. Every good ball player knows that if you have a headband you need matching wrist bands.

Bennett was very BRAVE!!!

Bennett and his glued forehead. Doesn't it make him look TOUGH?

Spring Break in SUNNY St. George

Bennett standing in front of an old mining cave that we decided to explore.

All of the kids had fun climbing up hills of volcanic rock.

Johnny found an amazing place to find petrified wood. Wally loaded up his Utah hoodie with all the wood he could find. Yes, that's wood up his sleeves, in his pockets and even in his hoodie.

We took the kids to Grafton to see a ghost town. We saw an old school, several old homes and visited the Grafton graveyard. The people in Grafton sure had a rough life.

A trip to St. George isn't complete without hiking at Zion's National Park.

We hiked the narrows at the Dixie Red Cliffs.

We even found an arch while hiking the Dixie Red Cliffs.

We stopped at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes to have fun rolling, jumping and tumbling in the soft cold sand. Johnny couldn't resist being a little kid.

We would love to have a sandbox like this at home.

After spending 5 days in sunny St. George we had to face the reality that we needed to head home. Johnny was in charge of the route home. Yes, that means we took the long way home. We stopped at Bryce National Park to see the breath taking scenes, learned about the Anasazi Indians, at lunch at the park in Fremont and enjoyed each others company. Finally, after 13 hours of site seeing and playing we made it back to Springville to our home sweet home.
