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.
