This year I had the whole week of April 14th off for spring break and I had no intentions of staying home - I wanted to get out of town and have a fun and relaxing time. Who better to do that with than Kristin, Libby and Mallory? Kristin had to work on Tuesday so I babysat the girls and then we headed to St. George for the rest of the week after picking Kristin up from work.
I believe I could have won $10,000 from America's Funniest Home Video's had I captured the following event on film. While tending the girls on Tuesday I went to pick them up from preschool. It wasn't far so we just walked but it was extremely windy. Libby and Mallory were walking behind me and I turned around to make sure they were still coming. What I saw was the cutest and funniest thing I've seen in a long time. They were huddled together crying, "Aunt Kath, Aunt Kath we need help!" They couldn't walk against the strong wind with their tiny little bodies! It was adorable!
On to St. George! We stayed at the Wyndham Resort where Kristin and Shawn have a timeshare. We got there rather late on Tuesday so pretty much just went to bed when we got there. We slept in the next morning (well I did, the girls didn't let Kristin sleep in much) then leisurely got ready and then drove to Zion Nat'l Park. I love Zion's and it was so wonderful to spend time outside in such a beautiful place. We took the river walk along the Virgin River that ends at the beginning of the Narrows. It's a 2 mile round trip, not too far really and it's a paved trail so we didn't think it would end up being a day long affair but alas, we had no idea how long it could take a couple of four year olds that had to stop and look at every bug and stick along the way and had to stop and draw in the sand every 2 feet. Even though it took us quite a while we sure had fun along the way!
Hey! Let's watch this caterpillar for the next 10 minutes!
Libby was quite the adventurer when it came to climbing the rocks. She scared Kristin and me several times.
This picture was taken in a little market there at Zion's. The girls found these sunglasses and walking sticks and when I saw them I just cracked up. Don't they look like cute little blind girls!
