Spring has Sprung!

We are loving the wonderful spring weather! Bekah and I have gone on a few walks and we had a wonderful spring break in St George with Brett and Jess. Dynelle's family came to St George on Saturday and spent the day with us. We hiked in Snow Canyon and Rebekah got to play in the sand dunes for the first time! She loved it and I handled it pretty well. That night we soaked in the amazing hot tub at the Howcroft's hotel before going back to our not so fancy hotel. Sunday we went to church with Jim and Julie and they fed us lunch and dinner. We were so spoiled by them! Monday we hung out with Uncle Jim's family again and played lots of ping pong. Tuesday we spent the day in Zions and mostly just basked in the warmth at a beautiful but little-known waterfall. I would post more pictures but Garrett had an accident where he fell into the waterfall with the camera so we don't have very many pictures. Anyway. We went to dinner at Olive Garden and ate like crazy from hiking then went back to the hotel to bed. Wednesday we came home and felt the temperature drop with every mile. But we're back, well rested, and ready for more school! (K that last part is an exaggeration.)

Bundled up to go for a walk. This was actually a couple weeks ago when it was a bit more chilly.

She had so much fun rolling the football around, giggling while she chased.

Bekah loves to pull all the DVD's out and suck on the cases.

This is the view at the top of the hike we did. Little sleepy Bekah was drooping by the halfway point. 
We're such a cute little family!

AWWWW!

Garrett loved telling us all about the Geology

We hiked to the top of this Volcano and Garrett went down in with Brett and two of their cousins.
