We had the opportunity to go to St. George this past weekend. We went to Tuachan to see The Little Mermaid.
The kids had a lot of fun swimming at the hotel. My mom bought this penguin floatie for Kiana. It was a bit small but she loved it.
Headed to The Little Mermaid, we stopped at Cracker Barrel for dinner. The boys saw a checker board and decided to play while we waited for our food.
Waiting for the show to start. Kiana tried really hard to stay awake, but finally gave in to sleep about 10 mins after intermission. Everyone totally loved the show. It was awesome.
The next afternoon, we took Andrew to the St. George Temple to do baptisms for the dead. Our ward youth went while we were gone and he was sad he was going to miss out. It was an exciting time for him. Kevin also got to baptize him and do baptisms as well. So glad I was there to witness his first time.
On the way home, we stopped at Cove Fort. It was interesting to learn a little more about how the pioneers lived.
The kids got to try out walking on stilts. I think they finally started to get it after a few tries.

She said to grandma..."Don't delete any pictures of me grandma, they are all adorable."
We also got to ride in this Stage Coach. The kids had a lot of fun. The line was long and hot and the ride short, but still lots of fun.

We also watch a video of the life of Joseph Smith. During the video you could feel the spirit so strongly testifying of the truth of the things portrayed. I did not want to stop at first, but I am glad that we added those 3 hours to our trip. Thanks mom for a great weekend. We could not have done it without you. You are amazing.
My mom was also fighting an eye injury and infection. I had to take her to the ophthalmologist on Friday morning. They originally thought they would have to scrape her cornea but luckily they decided not too. She is getting better, but it is a slow process.
